Family Relation Thoughts by Me

  I am not married. I am dating a boy and we are going to get married but not for a while. But besides that, this weeks class discussion was really interesting and eye opening for me as a not married person. As people and human beings I feel like its only natural to have that urge to have sex. The body has chemicals that are released when physical things are happening and they feel super great. We talked about sex within marriage and keeping it between man and wife and not having sexual relations with others outside of the marriage. Having fidelity is so so important. The first thing that was brought up in class was pornography and the increasing issue it has become in todays society. Personally I had to agree with one of my classmates who said that if someone watches porn, it is pretty much a form cheating. Dating someone and knowing that they are getting sexual pleasures from images of other people would be a difficult thing to get over. And the fact that porn is so harmful n...

 Sorry to lead you astray but there definitely aren’t 5 easy steps from dating to marriage. It is a long process and should be a long process. Marriage is a big decision and if you just marry the first ding dong to come along it could be more rough than it needs to be. Now, I'm not saying that if a really great guy comes along first things first then go ahead and marry the man. I just hate when people get stuck with losers because they were the first one to show any attention. To be honest, that was my biggest fear. Marrying the first guy to show interest in me. Luckily I didn’t because the guy that did come along just wasn’t right for me. Back to the subject at hand though. In class this week, the discussion we had was absolutely fascinating. There are a few things people go through before marriage. Obviously, there needs to be some dating going on before marriage. But even in the mix there needs to be courtship and then engagement and THEN marriage. Dating is important be...

  So a whole year ago, talking about dating was honestly to me, kind of cringy. But then, I met the man of my dreams. We have only been dating for 3 months but I can truly say I am in love. But again, definitely not a professional when it comes to love. Something I love that we talked about in class was communication and how key it is to any and all relationships. Me and my boyfriend have been so open and upfront with each other that I feel like we are closer because of it. Before we started dating we had been on one date and neither of us really had feelings for each other. But as we continued to spend time together, he eventually asked to talk with me about the relationship and where it was headed. During our talk he said he liked me but didn’t want to be exclusive yet. I was okay with that because the month previous, I had gotten out of an unfortunate relationship with another man. But then every time we hung out, he would bring up dating me and how unsure he was about it. t...

Okay. So, I will be honest. I usually am so exhausted going to this Family Relations class at 8am. I have lately been staying up stupid late with my boyfriend and getting up at the booty crack of dawn and I am always so tired! But can I just say to save myself, that class this week was so beyond great. I have been learning so many things and I have thoroughly enjoyed the discussions we have had in class! So the discussion that kept me engaged and awake this week was on the roles of men and women in the house hold and why gender is a very important role. Before anyone gets any preconceived notions and thinks that things talked about were in a negative and hateful way I just want to say that God loves all His children. No matter the choices we make as human beings in this life on earth, Heavenly Father will be there for all of us in our times of need and absolutely loves all of the people on the earth. To me, with the discussion had in class I would have to agree that gender plays ...
