How to Disagree with Your Spouse
If you never have a disagreement with your spouse, I applaud you! And I
want your autograph! Marriage is not an easy undertaking for anyone but
what truly important thing is? In the ward in which I grew up, the current
patriarch and his precious wife have an incredible marriage. This dear
sister has told others that she and her spouse have never had an
argument. She clarified that they had come close once but then they both
started laughing once they realized what was happening. I am far too much
of a live wire apparently. I don’t think that means they never had a
difference of opinion, I think it meant that they did not allow their tempers to
get involved.
How can we share our opinions and ideas without giving or taking offense?
First, try not to be offended if your spouse disagrees with you. Elder Bednar
recently said, “When we believe or say we have been offended, we usually
mean we feel insulted, mistreated, snubbed, or disrespected. And certainly
clumsy, embarrassing, unprincipled, and mean-spirited things do occur in
our interactions with other people that would allow us to take offense.
However, it ultimately is impossible for another person to offend you or to
offend me. Indeed, believing that another person offended us is
fundamentally false. To be offended is a choice we make; it is not
a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.”1
We can choose to allow our hearts to remain open in order to understand
our spouse better.
Second, approach the topic when you are both in a good mood, rather than
reigniting embers of discord.
Third, talk about yourselves as a team, rather than pointing the finger at
your spouse and what you perceive that he or she does incorrectly. No
one wants to hear their name smeared for every wrongdoing in the
household.
Fourth, use soft or gentle language. Proverbs 15: 1 teaches,
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
Fifth, remember that your spouse is your friend. How would you treat a
friend who had a different opinion than you? Would you cross your arms
over your chest and blow out your breath then refuse to talk to your best
girlfriend? Would you slam the door on your way out if a friend asks you to
help him with something? Doubtful.
Our responses of frustration often times come from feelings of hurt,
mistrust, or disrespect in the relationship or from other circumstances
rather than after just one misspoken word. It is up to each one of us to
recognize how our own emotions and thoughts affect our behavior,
because they do indeed affect our relationship with our loved ones.
Not one of us is always right. We bring our differences to the marriage and
hope that we can find a way to make them enhance our relationships,
rather than allow them to pull us apart. We certainly can do that as we learn
how to communicate with each other and seek the companionship of the
Holy Ghost in all aspects of our relationship.
1 “And Nothing Shall Offend Them,” Elder David A. Bednar, General
Conference, October 2006
A few months ago, I found myself at the mercy of a disastrous series of cryptocurrency investments. It had started out innocently enough. I was drawn into the hype of crypto, seeing others making quick gains. However, what began as a side experiment spiraled into a nightmare. My initial investments grew quickly, and I thought I had finally found a golden opportunity to secure my financial future. But as we all know, the crypto world can be volatile and unpredictable.I had put more money in than I could afford to lose, chasing gains, convinced I could outsmart the market. Then one day, the unthinkable happened. A series of projects I had invested in turned out to be fraudulent. The coins crashed in value, my savings evaporated, and I was left with nothing. The weight of my mistakes was unbearable, and the shame of losing it all felt like a heavy burden I couldn’t escape. That’s when I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest, a cybersecurity and investigative team that specialized in helping people recover from financial and cyber disasters. At first, I was skeptical, I had heard of such services before, but how could they possibly help me recover what I’d lost? But in my desperation, I decided to reach out. To my surprise, the team at Alpha Spy Nest was not only understanding but empathetic. They didn’t judge me for my mistakes; instead, they immediately set to work, analyzing my crypto transactions, tracing the origins of the fraudulent projects, and working tirelessly to uncover the perpetrators. What I didn’t know at the time was that they had an intricate network of contacts and tools at their disposal, enabling them to trace and reclaim funds lost in scams like mine. Days later, after relentless investigation and negotiation, they succeeded in recovering a significant portion of my lost investments. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only had they managed to recover my funds, but they had also educated me on the importance of security and due diligence in the digital world. They didn’t just save my financial future; they gave me the knowledge and confidence to make better decisions moving forward. Thanks to Alpha Spy Nest, I’ve learned to be more cautious in my investments, and I now feel secure in knowing I have a team of experts to turn to if anything ever goes wrong. The experience taught me that even in the darkest of times, there is hope, and with the right help, recovery is possible.

I fell victim to a bitcoin fraud two months ago, where a scammer took $124,700 from my Cash App account. I was devastated. I made an independent attempt to retrieve it. I went online and read articles about getting my bitcoin back, there platform appeared legitimate, offered large profits, and had a polished appearance—until it wasn’t. When they refused to allow me withdraw any of my money after I had invested a sizable amount of my cash, I knew I had been duped.

I have taken different types of medication for it , but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has be gone, because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured, I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through, and then direct me to contact Dr. Guba who is a very powerful man, which I did explain my problem to Dr. Guba and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea.
