I don't know very many who know and understand the doctrines like you do, andThat means a lot to me, I'm very grateful for his words. I think that I often am unable to see the good qualities I possess because I am so caught up in my weaknesses and I want to progress but I make myself discouraged by my prolific weaknesses. I think there is a tendency for us to be hindered by Satan through discouragement.

Definitely, anyone can marry and function and have a good life with enough commitment to the gospel and to their covenants, but I don't want to just function, I want happiness that is surreal, I don't want to have to work for my marriage relationship, I want to want to work for my marriage relationship.
it's not just that you know them, you live according to your knowledge.

The Lord gave us strengths for the benefit of others. The keyword is strengths, not weaknesses. When our weaknesses become strengths then we show them to the world to help others. Like I said though there must be caution used so as to not be prideful. I dont know if this was the kind of response that you are looking for but there you go anyways.
