My parents have set an extremely high standard of what married life should be from the time I was born. Each one contributes to family life, being sure to be involved in my own and my siblings' lives.
My mother has taken on the more nurturing side of the relationship, probably due to her background as a pediatric nurse. My father, on the other hand, has become somewhat of a disciplinarian, teaching me respect and how to become the man that he is. He provides for the family and controls much of the finances to keep everything running smoothly. Combined with my mom's caring nature the two of them create perfect compliments of the other.

My moms role is to be a caring in loving mother to her seven children. While my dad is a self employed man. My mom's advice for teens is to take a step back and listen to what is told to them. They think that being with someone is all the fun romantic thing but, then reality kicks in. Things come to play and you didn't think of. You don't realize the things that will happen and impact your life. You must have a relationship with God first if you don't your relationship will suffer. You think everything would be perfect, but you have to realize the real situations that are happening in everyday life. A Lot of things change and things don't go as plan. The person should get to know the other person better. Another important thing is to respect each other, and not to use each other. The term they use that is in the gospel is "evenly yoke" you have to be on the same path the same goal with each other . Communication is a big key so it will equal out the problems. Things will be better and have more meaning when being evenly yoked.

My Aunt said her role was to be a mother and take care of her children. She has a responsibility to clean, cook, and do what is needed for the family. While working part time as an orthodontist assistantShe believes in living a simple life and being independent. She said before you get married, get to know the other person take notes on how the other person is willing to share the responsibilities. And if the other person is bothered about something the other does they won't have a hard time making it last. Your supose to give all to you spouse. Two things that made her relationship better was not changing the other person accepting how they are. And the most important is having God in her life. There are so many things in a relationship you don't realize are important you have to get to know the person their likes and dislikes. Lay everything out on the table. You won't meet anyone who is perfect. Sharing yourself with the other person and them sharing themself with you is a way to live.

My father's parents have taught me very valuable life lessons. The two of them have their grandchildren as their highest priority, supporting us in whatever we decide to do. My grandmother has been the primary caregiver within the relationship since my grandfather lost his sales job a couple of years ago and took up bus driving instead. You want an example of a strong, independent woman? This is your girl. My grandmother managed almost every aspect of their household and did it with a beaming smile on her face the whole way.

My mother's parents have been in marriage bliss for fifty-six years and counting. Each one compliments the other perfectly. My grandmother is the social butterfly, ensuring them a spot at the card table each night. My grandfather may be a tad bit introverted, but one conversation with him proves that he has great wisdom on life and intelligence. As a side job he built airplanes. Yes airplanes. Those two always spend time together, whether it be strolling around the mall or going antiquing, they enjoy every minute they have with one another.

Another role model for a strong lasting relationship is my grandparents. My grandmother is a strong sweet women. My grandmother has faced many obstacles in life. They are two completely different people with completely different personalities. But, they are perfect together. They show us the way to live. They taught us that God is ALWAYS number one in our life. We should always have trust. Always love the other no matter what. Communicate with your spouse is an important thing. Nothing is perfect, but you have to work hard to work things out. Give your all to your spouse.
