My wife and I are currently attending college with very different majors. She is studying Horticulture with an emphasis in design and build while I am majoring in Electrical Engineering. We are both working part time and are full time students. Each of us has classes that challenge us and are making us stretch. Neither of us really understand the others major but we always like to talk about what we have learned in our classes while we are walking to the next class or up the treacherous hill to our car. Now something you have to know about me is that I am a bit of a perfectionist. I don't like getting bad grades or being bad at things in general. My wife always encourages me and helps me to fulfill my dreams. I try to do the same for her but she just does a great job at it all of the time. It reminds me of the movie UP where it shows Carl and Ellie's life together. He was always so supportive of her and her dreams. Alex is exactly that way for me. I know that since we are always encouraging each other, we will achieve great things for our family.
Even when we are having hard times, after we have a moment to talk about it. She always looks to the future and helps me see that the future holds so much more for us. This reminds me of a story from Elder Holland about the troubles he had with his car at the start of his cross country road trip.
Our lives are so much better when we are encouraging and loving towards each other instead of complaining and tearing each other down.
