Divorce and Different types of families

We talked about divorce this week..talking about divorce made me sad because it reminded me of all the people i know who got divorced. In my personal opinion people who choose to get married, need to give it chance to work before they choose to divorce. We also talked about all the different families  adopted, and remarriage. I personally support all types of families weather they can have their own children or not, or if they find there partner after they are with someone else and it does not work out.

The Family Under stress 3/9/13

What i found interesting was we learned about crisis equation. The equation to crisis is that danger+ opportunity= crisis. Crisis is when something traumatic occurs to an individual or group of individuals.  Its urgent, has instability, puts a family at risk and it is different from a stress because stress simply tests the boundaries of a family or individual.  A crisis has the connotation that for a moment the family or individual is not able to withstand the difficulty that is placed on a family. We will all eventually go through crisis, the lord will be there when we go through that.

Communication and Mutual Problem Solving 3/22/13

One interesting thing that I found interesting this week was to have a dual earner home, you have to learn to budget, which means you have to discuss everything, reduce stress, and conflict. Protize and value things, reward yourself every once in a while. The next thing you have to do for those of you who are of my faith you have to have on honest tithe, which means you have to start when your young, next is to recognize blessings, when they come. Third is to pay things promptly when needed and teach to be honest. The fourth and most important is to go to Temple. Fifth is to purchase insurance, whether it be life or car. Sixth i believe is another important one eliminate your debt, DO NOT GO INTO TO DEBT, IF YOU DO NOT NEED TOO.Last and the most important thing is to teach children to earn, work with them, make it fun, be an example to them and JUST LOVE THEM. I will be follow this advice.  

Getting Married 2/23/13

One thing thing that we disused this week was why people are getting married. I never knew that there were so many reasons people marry. Some of the reasons that we talked about that people need intimacy, desire for children,and that marriage is a piratical solution. i found it interesting that marriage is a practical solution to problems and challenges., i disagree with this because people shouldn't  marry other people if they don't love each other, but if there is a child involved they should try marriage to see if they can handle being a family.
