Lesson 10

    So we only had class this week on Monday because of Thanksgiving, but from the readings we read about fathers and finances.
    One of the articles I found interesting was by Dennis Prager called Does a Full-Time Homemaker Swap Her Mind For A Mop?, this was interesting to me because he explained from his point of view how it is still possible for stay at home moms to still get intellectual development. They don’t have to be going to school or having a career to further her knowledge, because it is possible for her to do it at home. I agreed with this article because I know tons of stay at home moms that are very smart and creative. I myself want to be a stay at home mom when I have kids, so I will be able to watch them grow and teach them things. What do y’all think?

Lesson 09

    This past week in family relations was interesting. We learned about communication and mutual problem solving within the family.
    For me personally, communication is a very important thing to have in any relationship. There are different kinds of communication: there are words, tone, non-verbal, and body language.
    When there is conflict in a marriage/relationship, as said by President Gordon B. Hinckley, “We need to care about what our partner thinks and feels as we do our own.” I liked this quote a lot because it shows the importance of how important the views and opinions of our spouse really is. I would even go as far as to say, our spouses opinions, wants, dreams, and needs are more important than our own.

Lesson 08

    This past week in my family relations class was pretty interesting. We talked about family crises and stressors that families encounter. We talked about the ABC-X model, which stands for A- actual event, B- responses and resources, C- cognitive, and X- total experience. We applied it to stress events that we have had happened in our own families. It was interesting.

Lesson 07

    Well this past week we only had one class and did the rest of it on our own but I still learned and read some interesting things. We read about some reasons why affairs are started and why, teenage pregnancy, and a midterm on same sex attraction.
    I found all of the information really interesting and for sure will apply it to my future marriage. Im so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that everyone has their own trials in their lives and God won’t give us anything that we cant handle, but we have those trials to make us stronger and a better person if we can overcome them.
