Hey Justin. It's good to see you be proactive online. I'm excited to see and read your input on the family and marriages and the associated issues in our society today. Good luck with Brother Williams. He is the best teacher ALIVE.

Your smarter brother,

Josh

Saturday May 4th

Hey everybody here goes my first blog. So I really do love this class known as family relations. It is teaching me many things and is very interesting. This week we talked about trends that are current, and the age of marriage is increasing. Also unmarried births is increasing, employed mothers, and divorce. There seems to be many causes as to why these things are increasing. I do know that selfishness is a big factor in to these things happening. It is very challenging with how society is moving in a different direction than the church. I think its challenging for the woman to truly decide what they want in the family.

Saturday May 11th

This week we talked about theories or theories involving the family. There is four and the first one is the family systems theory, exchange theory, conflict theory, symbolic interaction. Family theory is about he family as a whole, roles, and boundaries, exchange is costs vs. benefits, symbolic is that we’re always creating meaning, and conflict is that conflict can be good. I would say that the conflict theory is the most relatable to how my family functioned growing up. We definitely had a lot of it, but it helped us much, but also hurt us.

Saturday May 18th

So this week we talked about cultures which is something that I find interesting and intriguing. There was a question asked are some cultures more valid than others. It a hard question to answer because Heavenly Father sees as all the same, but we sometimes see each other differently because we are different. We all have very different upbringings. We also learned about this activity and what I got from it is that some people aren’t so privileged to even have a parent. Sacrifice goes a long way in showing someone that you really love and care about them.

Saturday May 25th

This week we learned about same sex attraction and some people think that its a choice and others think that they were born this way. This is something that I have dealt with on the mission as well as at home. I have a close family member who does struggle with these issues and I have taught and helped some of these people on the mission. I do believe that its a temptation that is given to some of God’s children. It can be controlled if just as any temptation, and so it can't really be a choice because before we came here we all chose to follow God’s plan and that was to strive to have a family. Same gender relationships will not render what God’s family should look like.

This week we talked about dating and this is one of my favorite topics of all time. The attachment law was really interesting that you need to know someone more than you trust them and that you need to trust someone more than you rely on them. You need to rely on someone more than you commit to them. And also you need to commit to someone more than you touch them. It is cool to learn that we must get to know a person before you give them your trust. You will not know how they respond to things until you get to know them. 3 months is the time frame that it takes to get to know someone.

Saturday June 8th

This week we talked about marriage and dating. With my experience it's quite the challenge to keep people together and that includes my own family. One of the things that I have learned is that I believe anybody can make things work not matter their circumstances. If each partner is willing to work and improve every single day. Then there will be more success, once a person isn't willing that is when trials may come. That is why it is so important that you get to know someone so that you will be able to know what that person will do in certain situations

Saturday June 15th

This week we talked about marital intimacy which can be a very sensitive and intriguing subject. I think that it is so very important that we educate our kids on how anything sexual works. there are so many bad and good sources out there that everything is twisted and distorted. We must not teach this with to others, but let them know that its a serious matter and that you will be blessed if you wait until the right time. Even if people mess up it is a serious sin but they need to know they can always repent and overcome these things.

This week we learned about the family under stress and one of the quotes that really stuck out to me was Joseph B. Wirthlin and he talked about hwo each of us will have our own fridays, meaninga challenging time and that sunday will always come. I really liked that we focused on coping with stress and family crisis. I have my own belief that coping is the most important way and our attitude towards trials and overcoming hard times.

Communication
Communication is definately something we use every day. I would say it would have to do with many of the following. The words we speak, the tone we use, and even the non-verbal gestures we use impact the meanings of what we are trying to convey to others. When speaking with someone, the listener mostly pays attention to the non-verbal cues that you give, then they pay attention to the tone you are using, and finally they pay attention to the words that you are actually saying to them.
When speaking with people we share our thoughts and feelings, we send them our message and they way we want the message to be heard by them. And then they have to decode our verbal message and sometimes they misunderstand what the speakers are trying to say. We need to communicate clearly so that we can be understood, but we also need to speak so clearly that we are not miss-understood.
When having trouble communicating, create feedback loops. Make sure that you repeat what they person is saying in the way that you are understanding it. When making sure you understand what the other person is saying nothing will be able to be miss-understood.
There are many useful strategies that can be used to communicate better with others.

Importance of Fathers
In the crazy world that we live fathers don't seem to be recognized or as important as they should. They are the providers but they also play an important role in the role of his wife and kids
I am going to give you a few examples of why fathers and their way of parenting is so important.
First, father’s parent differently. Fathers have a distinct style of communication and interaction with their children. When infants are only eight weeks old they can tell the difference between their mother’s and father’s interaction with them. This difference provides children with a broader, richer experience of contrasting interactions in their lives. Children are learning, by experience, that men and women are different and have different ways of dealing with life, other adults and children. This understanding is critical for their development.
The second point is that fathers can tend to play differently. Children who roughhouse with their fathers learn that forms of physical violence are not acceptable.
Fathers can tend to build confidence. Fathers like to see their kids reach high level of achievement. He gives them that confidence to be a little on the risky side. Moms help children understand to learn from their mistakes Both mother and father help the children remain safe while expanding their experiences
We could also talk about how fathers communicate differently. Mothers will simplify their words and speak on the child's level. Men do not usually modify their language for the child. The mother's way facilitates immediate communication; the father's way challenges the child to expand their vocabulary and linguistic skills which is an important building block of academic success.

Why do we and how do we parent

There are many reasons as to why we parent, first its God ordained and our for ordained roles, but it also reflects how we really want our children to turn, at least give them those guidelines that they need to be successful in this life. I think sometimes we dont realize or take for granted how much we need a tutor, teacher and a parent. Who else in this world is gonna teach the right way. There are so many families without parents in their lives and they need that guidance.
There are many affects to how many children you have. Statistics prove that if you were raised in a bigger family you can tend to have more versus if you came from a smaller family.

Divorce
There are many causes of divorce such as: When a spouse withdraws, Infedilty, bad communication, miss understandings and mis communications, dont critisize on the negative, and maybe negative thoughts and feelings. It seems that women are more likely to divorce their husbands. 70 percent of those who say their divorced say they made a mistake. I think there must be compromise every single day because there are always gonna be differences no matter what you do, so u must be able to work through those differences, I think sometimes people think that you must be exactly like, but that brings the challenges and rewards.
