aren't they adorable?? amy is my cousin on my mom's side, and we loved going to her and jeremy's sealing. sara, kirk and i took a quick jaunt up to rexburg and back (in one day, i might add) and we had so much fun!
of course, at every sealing the sealer will give advice to the couple. really i think that the advice is better received from the others in attendance at the sealing, because the bride and groom are way more focused on each other. :)
it was good for kirk and i to hear the words of advice. he said that the most important thing in marriage is to focus on the other person's happiness more than on your own. i liked his metaphor of how we never say to God, "i really like this rainbow, but couldn't you have put a little more red, or yellow in it?" our spouse is a gift from God, just as the rainbow is. so don't mess with your personal rainbow!
kirk and i had bickered a little bit that day, so we both apologized pretty quick after hearing what the sealer said. :) it's good to remember what's important in a marriage, and what really isn't. i've noticed that kirk is much better at putting me first than i am at putting him first. i'm definitely going to work on make him feel like his happiness is more important than mine.
