Today we talked about reasons why marriages fall apart, we thought of these reasons: not showing affection, stress on couple, lack of sleep, not feeling appreciated or loved, off- balance, and adjusting and learning the changes that have come because of the new addition. I have been thinking of ways to reduce the problems that can arise these are just some: words of affirmation, acts of service, and quality time. I believe that the family life can be difficult but if you are willing to put in the effort and work hard then it will all work
This week we talked about relationships, we talked about the difference of hanging out and dating. hanging out is just being with a friend and not really having any emotional or physical ties, dating on the other hand is being with someone that you care and love, and you talk about important things. We also discussed that when a woman is looking for a spouse they are testing if they can preside, provide, and protect. There was five other steps that both men and women look for and they are: Do they know who the person is there are with, can they trust them, Are they reliable, Are they committed to the relationship, and Am I physically attracted to them. The last thing we discussed is the difference between married couples and couples that are living together. We learned that in those relationship there is a great percentage of abuse, less intimacy, and can be not committed to the relationship.
This week we have been discussing the effects that parents and peers have on children. We learned that some of the reasons why some people are attracted to same sex gender could be because of bulling, labeling, abuse. Another idea is when a father is absent from his sons life the son leans towards other male role models because he needs that emotional stability that a father can give. This also applies to daughters as well. I realized again that parental examples are extremely important in child development and when one is absent it cause mental and emotional problems. I found this video that I feel would help us to change our behavior. From dictionary.com I looked up what the word judgement means it says: an act or instance of judging. We learned that when we are judging people we don't always know what there circumstances were, why they made the decision that they made. I learned that I should only judge when I know the whole picture or when I am in spiritual or physical danger. I really enjoyed this class because I think that as people we judge a lot and we should be more aware as to what is going on especially for those families that are trying to help there family become better.
