The Warm, Happy Marriage: Cold, Hard Facts to Consider 



Chapter 7


After reading this chapter, I was very intrigued by the different facts to consider in marriage. Now, if you are currently newly married, I want you to remember what I am going to write about today. I hope that it can make a positive influence on your life today and forever. 

Many researchers throughout the times have studied married couples and opinions of being married. They have come to see conclusions that are negative and positive things about the concept of marriage. One being "but passé, unrealistic, and downright stifling." (p. 70). Others defending marriage as being one of the greatest things in this life. I find this so interesting how many different opinions can occur. It means that people often find marriage as a difficult thing and a waste of their time. Then, they end up practicing cohabitation, which studies have shown doesn't mean the couple will always stay together. 

However, there are MANY benefits to marriage such as happiness, children, and many more!! Can you think of the great benefits you have from being married. I can say I have a best friend who I love and spend all day with. I consider that one HUGE benefit. 

The last thing I want to mention is the "cold hard facts to consider" part. Yes, marriage is fun and great but, there will be difficult things about being married. This is where teamwork comes into play with your partner. If I could leave you people with one piece of advice for those of you who aren't married yet, it would be to find someone who will work as a team with you. 

That's all for this week!!

The Dating Life Before Marriage

October 27, 2018 Alright to start off for you all here's the dets:  I am a single 22 year old living in Rexburg right now. I can't tell you how many couples I see on campus everyday. Today actually I witnessed someone getting proposed to. It was really cute and everything but I grinned and kept walking. I thought to myself, "I wonder when that day will come".  While I was serving the Lord in Uruguay for 18 months and teaching about the plan that He has for families, I was able to teach it to newly married couples. My point is, I have been thinking about the thought of marriage for quite some time now. It is very common for people to come home off of their missions and get married really fast. Many people think that it's because of their mission presidents who tell them at the very end that they need to get married. But I can say that my mission president didnt urge me to get married right away. He said I need to "date around". I took that is get to kn...

Parenting.. Is it easy?

-
December 8,  2018 This is a topic that I could talk about for a long time honestly. I love learning about why parenting can be difficult and what makes it easier. I also like the thought that one day I will have kids. I will have to understand how to parent them! This class that I am taking right now, has been helping me understand the why and the what of parenting. I find it so interesting actually!  For my blog post this week I wanted to address the purpose of parenting and what are the outcomes of it. We discussed in my class that parenting has a purpose. The purpose of parenting is to PROTECT and PREPARE children to survive and thrive in the world we live in. I really like that purpose because I feel that parents should make it a goal to be able to help their children in that way. I believe that children should feel in the home being lifted up to accomplish the dreams they want to. The words "survive" and "thrive" have powerful meanings to them. Yes paren...

FATHERS AND FINANCES

December 1, 2018 What Is The Role of the Father? Many people know that the role of the father is the provider of the home. The father is very important to the family because he is hard-working and always trying to keep the family up on their feet. This could be financially as well as physically. The father also wants to protect the family as much as possible from possible harm. This is why sometimes being a father can be stressful. I believe that God gave all of the men this responsibility before we came to earth so that they could feel like they really needed to protect their families and provide for them in such a way. The last thing that father's do is preside in the home. What does it mean to preside? Well in my opinion they are the one's who oversee things. I am going to talk about the role of mothers too here in a sec and how they oversee differently. But the fathers have to understand that they need to make a lot of the decisions when it comes down to it. Think about...
