Family Relations

Today we talked a lot about fathers and finance but also talked about how mothers and fathers work together to help take care of their families. Fathers are usually the ones that provide, preside and protect their families while the mothers are usually home to nurture and take care of children. Through the Church of Jesus Christ we have the family proclamation and it talks about how mothers have a role to nurture and be with their children and fathers provided and protected and stuff. We were talking about how these days there are a lot of moms and dads who both work and how the roles of both parents would play out. Sometimes the women have the opportunity to make more money than their husband and they want the women to work and have the dad stay home and work less. This takes away the roles of both parents and what they should do. I don't think it's a wrong thing to do, sometimes that's just what's best for the family but if it doesn't really matter it's bette

   This week we have been able to talk about communication. In my opinion I think communication is the key to any good relationships. In my generation I feel like communication has gone downhill. Most people now only communicate through texting or social media platforms. Honestly I do see why people like to communicate through texting and social media because it is easier and faster and they don't have to face them if you're texting them something that is scary or hard to text. The bad thing about it is sometimes you can text someone something and they can take it in a whole different way that interpreted it to mean something mean or hateful. I honestly feel if you can communicate with someone in person and express how you feel you are able to see how they feel and you can work it out on the spot. With my Ex he would mostly only communicate through texting. We would be with each other in person and act kind of sad and I would ask what's wrong and he would say nothing or mak

      This week we have talked about stress but mostly stress within families. I thought it was a very interesting topic to talk about.         One thing I really liked doing was comparing external and internal stresses. We talked about how external stresses we are more likely to work together as a family and become more united when there is a stress. When there is internal stress families tend to come disconnect and not work together to help overcome the success. When we went over the different examples I definitely  thought that the internal stressors where harder than the external. There was some externals that were definitely worse then internal. I honestly think it depends on how you deal with the stress and who you work with to deal with it.     A couple of years ago my family went through a pretty hard trial. My parents decided after living in our house for 12 years it was time to move. They loved the city we were in and the school district we were in so they wanted to move some

This week was a little different lol. We talked about marital intimacy and relationships between a husband and wife. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints we believe that sexual intimacy is between a husband and wife. It is a commandment or eternal law given to us from our Heavenly father which is God. It is to "bless and help His children achieve their divine potential." It is to help gain more trust between a husband and wife and help them grow physically, spiritually and emotionally together. This might be really challenging to others but if we follow God's commandments he will give us many blessings in our lives and we will be able to see why he would give us commandments. We also talked about how there can be many challenges when you first get married and throughout your marriage. This is the time to talk to your spouse so you can understand each other's needs and be able to work through those problems together. When you have a marriage problem
