Family Relations

Sexual intimacy is really important in a marriage. It is one of those things that can brake a marriage apart or bring the husband and wife closer together. Talking about sex to your husband or wife can be really hard and uncomfortable but you need to do this. There are things that are fundamentally different between a man and a woman. I want to touch on some of the things that a lot of couples were never taught because parents, for the most part, do not talk about sex to their children. So when teens or even pre-teens don’t get answers from their parents they go out and find out what they want from other sources. Those other sources teach about sex in a very distorted way. You should be your child's main source of information. You should teach them about how men and women are different and use proper names for body parts not made up ones.  Now men and women are different in many aspects. A lot of women believe that their husbands only think about sex and that is all he cares abou...

     So we talked about dating last week so this week I thought we should move on to early marriage. If you are dating in a correct and healthy way it should be a great way to get to know someone and learn if you will click with them and whether or not you would want to marry them. But remember when you marry someone and move in with them it does not matter how much you think you know them, you will learn even more about them after marrying them.

Then when you marry them you will have to change how you live. You will have someone else in the bed with you, you will have to get used to someone else's things cluttering up the bathroom, you have to put up with each other's little quirks. I know that these things...

In today's blog I really wanted to talk about dating for those people that are single that are reading my posts. Dating is not my favorite. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoy when I am out on a date with someone but getting to that point is a different story. I myself am an introvert, so getting to know someone that I am not familiar with is really hard for me. It is also hard because I don't really speak very often around those that I don't know. So I will be talking today about healthy and unhealthy dating. To start everything off, let us make sure that we are all on the same page. Dating someone does not mean to have sexual activities with them. Dating is also not just “hanging out” with them. Elder Dallin H. Oaks states “ Unlike hanging out, dating is not a team sport. Dating is pairing off to experience the kind of one-on-one association and temporary commitment that can lead to marriage in some rare and treasured cases.” A date should have the three P’s Paired o...
