Divorce it isn't fun

  Heyo everyone I know you are surprised to hear from me again. Well last week I was mistaken and thought that was the last time I would be posting but this time will be the last time. Now today I am going to talk about something that is unpleasant for those who have experienced it and those that have been affected by it. A divorce in the family. This has and continues to affect families around the world. Now I understand that there are those that have legitimate reasons. But the effect is like a grenade being thrown in a room of people. Someone is going to get hurt for most of those situations involving a divorce. Now the most effected I think second to the parents are the children between those two parents. It really is a sad thing to see. This affects children throughout the rest of their lives. Cause now they have seen a “failed” marriage. Now they have a fear of falling their parents’ footsteps. Another thing is maybe extended family will have to take sides. Which can create e...

Parenting

  Hello everyone, this is jacob here to give you some more info on what I have learned about this week regarding family. For this week we will be focused on parents and how they can best affect children and what is detrimental to nurturing children. Now I’ll just say that from my personal experience. Which may be a no brainer to some. but to me it was the example of my parents. Not only that but I think the best chance of raising kids is to have them feel like they are helpful. So, asking for help from your kid(s) at an early age. But that’s my opinion which I could be wrong about. Also, every family is different and needs to adjust to different needs for the children and the environment you are in. Now to get into what I learned from an article called “the collapse of parenting: why its time for parents to grow up”. Now they start off with a scenario of a father and daughter in a restaurant where the father asked his daughter to eat her peas. Now also in that restaurant was a pers...

Fatherhood and Motherhood

  Hola amigos its Jacob again here to share with all of you guys what I have learned from articles. Now I want to share with you all today is about fathers and mothers. Now I am going to bring up an article that brings up how detrimental it is when a father is not in the home. Now I will put the link(s) in the bottom of the post if you want to check out for yourself. The first that I want to talk about is titled “A key commonality in School shooters The left Refuses to address”. Now I don’t want to get political in this post I just think that this article will really hit home the things that affects kids. In this article they say that there is a common thing between almost all school shooters. That most grow up or are in a fatherless home. According to the article there is a correlation between children without a father and the likelihood that they will be violent. Not only that but those kids born in those circumstances have a twice likelihood of committing suicide. Now I don’t kn...

Effective Counseling/Communication

  Hello again everyone. Trust that everyone is coming here to learn more about families. Well, you’re in luck because I know everything about families. I am kidding about knowing everything about families’ guys. I will share what I have read on helping to communicate with your significant other in marriage or even dating. What I read this week on that is titled “Strength in Counsel” this is by my religious leader Elder M. Russell Ballard of the twelve apostles. In the talk he talks about how good it is to counsel within meetings and in the home. And it’s important to do so where both parties in a marriage to discuss different topics. Now he mostly talks about counseling in a church setting for the most part. But I think this can work even in a marriage setting. you both should have similar values and so we should start there. Elder Ballard says to focus on the fundamentals. What do both of you find the most important cause if it goes against that then the decision becomes easier to...

Family Crisis

  Hello, everyone, it’s that time of the week for me to share what I have read and learned this week from my reading. ­­ ­­This week I read from Lauer and Lauer about family crisis. Now you can probably think of a crisis or even a family crisis in your life. That is what I will be sharing with you guys. Now there are many factors as to why a family is dealing with stress. It could be financial which is a very likely stress factor. We are going to look at the many types of situations that can lead to a family crisis. Also, how some people might cope when these situations arise. Also, if the coping is effective or ineffective. An example is given from the story in the reading from Lauer and Lauer. They said that there were wildfires that raged in a family’s area. When the family returned to their neighborhood. They saw burned houses and thoughts that you would have during this. Like how terrible this is or why has this happened to us etc. etc. Then they saw an owner of a burnt house ...

Physical Intimacy

  Hello everyone, now you are probably wondering what I am going to share with y’all. This week I read about sexuality between two people. Meaning the physical intimacy that whether it be the type of intercourse that would be intended to make babies. Not about sexuality but how man and women experience having sex differently from each other. Now I read from Lauer & Lauer and as always, I will drop a link to this information. In Lauer’s article it asks the question “what is the most intense form of human intimacy?”. Now some people would say that sex is the most intimate thing for humans. Let me just insert my opinion here. I think that the most intimate form of human intimacy is more than just sex. I think sex can be a part of that intimacy, but I ultimately think that its marrying someone you love, and they love you. And when you share with your significant other your thoughts and feelings. Even the things that you wouldn’t tell most people. That’s my definition of going intim...

Marrying young vs old and what happens to your life after marriage

  Heyo people its that time of the week where I share what I have learned from some articles and reading about marriage. Specifically, about if you want to delay marriage vs having a early marriage. Then we are going to talk about the adjustments that couples will frequently adjust to because they are married. As always, I will share the link where I found my information. So is it smarter to wait on marriage so that they can pursue a more stable future for things that are important to you. An example of things that people would like to have under their belt before marriage. Like education, a career, and/or that trip that they would like to do before being tied down to someone. While there are those who marry in their early 20’s and people think that they are so young that the marriage is likely to fail. Well in the article that I read it said that they had found didn’t find anything that a marriage was stronger the longer you waited. In fact, they said the evidence tilts a little t...
