There were many key points in our reading this week. But one point that hit hard with me is the council given on what a couple is about to get married should do regarding their parents and how to start and gain a stronger marriage. President Kimball has an amazing quote that I want to share, "Frequently, people continue to cleave unto their mothers and their fathers, and their chums.Sometimes, mothers will not relinquish the hold they have had upon their children, and husbands as well as wives return to their mothers and fathers to obtain advice and counsel and to confide, whereas cleaving should be to the wife in most things, and all intimacies should be kept in great secrecy and privacy from others… Your married life should become independent of her folks and his folks.  You love them more than ever, you cherish their counsel, you appreciate their association, but you live your own lives, being governed by your decisions, by your own prayerful considerations after you have received the counsel from those who should give it (Spencer W. Kimball, March 1977 Ensign, pp. 4, 5)."
