Interesting week.... but good

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 you don't want to first go to a friend before your spouse. Doing that can make it even harder to open up to your spouse because you are already saying oh that felt good to get off my chest and now you feel as if you don't need to talk to your spouse. We also talked about how once you are married you don't really have friends of the opposite sex. Usually it doesn't work out very well when you do try and keep those relationships once you get married. If you are always trying to be your friend it could seem like the other person feels like you lost trust from them to talk to them and that maybe they won't trust you anymore because you are always going to them. I have heard many stories where when a guy and girl are best friends and one of them gets married and they still go to the other one to talk about life that they usually end up in trouble because women have a chemical called oxytocin once they are attached to someone oxytocin makes them really want it more. That is even why once a girl gets attached to a guy and then the real side of the guy comes out and he isn't really a good guy but the girl is still in love with him that is because of the oxytocin.

Something that I thought was funny that we talked about is how girls think guys with beards are “hot”. In my opinion only some guys can pull off facial hair but usually I don’t like it. Lol. But the girls that responded said it’s because you can’t see what is under the beard. (the chins) I thought that was funny. But the cool thing I thought about is that you liked their personality before their full face. Same thing with masks. Sometimes I think it would be good to fall for a person who has always worn a mask because you are falling for their personality more than their looks. Also girls said they like beards because it shows that they take care of themselves mostly and show that they know how to take care of something, and that's a sign to them that if they were ever to get together they could take care of them but also be good at keeping up on something. I wanted to say that if they keep up with it. A lot of guys just let it grow and it looks kind of nasty, lol but that’s just my opinion.

This class was actually more fun than I thought and those were just some of the thoughts that I had about them.
