Our relationship with our wife
Come home after a hard day at work and the dinner’s not ready, the house is a mess, and the kids are screaming. What do you do?
How do we treat our wives?

Mosiah 3:19
POV Dyer-gram
- men look at how far they’ve come
- women see how far they have to go
- need to help each other see alternative perspective
The perfect woman does not exist. “Even if she did, she wouldn’t want you!” Woman helps perfect the man and the man helps perfect the woman. - President Dyer Zone Conference 6/8/00
Where are some pitfalls in the marriage relationship?
In what ways does the adversary skew the roles of husband, wife, father, and mother?
Playing “my life sucks more” and other stupid games of one-upmanship
Don’t assume you know motivation behind words/actions
Not trying to fix everything
It’s not 50/50, it’s 100/100!
How do we improve things?
How do we nurture that relationship?
Choose to love. Love the verb, not love the feeling
Counseling
Serve to love - you value that for which you sacrifice
Zone Conference 10/14/99
Grandpa Bob's advice - compliment her regularity
Valentine's day
Make it count! Your quality of life is directly proportional to the happiness of your wife.

- We all want to be good spouses and parents
- We can only change ourselves (don’t carry around lists)
- Mental list of things we admire
- Companionship is 100%/100% proposition
