Family Relations

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...

     This week I would like to touch on the culture of the family. There are many different types of cultures. A lot of the time when we are asked about culture we associate it with countries, different regions inside those countries, or a group of people. Culture can cover all that and more. How many of you thought of your family or how you were raised when someone was talking about culture? I never did. Whenever I was asked about cultures I always thought about groups of people that act differently or believe differently than I do. I never really thought about the cultures that surrounded me in my daily life. I have always wondered about the different types of cultures not so much about all the current details but about how they came to be. All the different cultures out there started somewhere and I always found it interesting to wonder where, whom, or what they originated from. Just like cultures from different countries I think that it is amazing that the culture of ...

  Roles of The Family Members! Today I would love to touch on the roles of the family. I am going to go through the fathers, mothers and the son and daughters roles in the family. If you would like to read more about the importance of families then you can read The Family: A Proclamation to the World . The role you have in your family is one of the most important roles that you will have in your life. Each and everyone of us will play a role whether we would like to or not so we should strive for a role that will uplift and help those that we love. The Father’s Role The fathers role in the family “By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families” ( The Family: A Proclamation to the World ). I will try to break this down a bit. I will start with the word Preside. To preside means to take charge or give direction. A really good scripture that talks about t...

  Before I begin! I would love to hear what you guys think about what I am wanting to write about but first I just want to start this blog by stating that I was born and raised christian and I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love Jesus Christ and I know that He loves each and every one of us. Each of us on this planet are sons and daughters of God. Jesus Christ teaches us that we should love one another ( John 13:34 ). I know that Jesus was talking about every single one of us. We should care and love everyone even if we do not agree with their beliefs or their actions. I know it can be hard to see through to someone else's side and look at things with their perspective.  Heavenly Father(God) knows what each and everyone of us is going through and he still loves you! So let us respect each other and try to look at everyone’s point of view. 1John 4:20 Alright let's get started then! Families are an important factor in our everyday lives and b...

Hey out there!   My name is Ivan and I have started this blog so that I can write down my thoughts and feelings about families. I have never done anything like this before so lets see how this all goes together. I was born and raised Christian and I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love Jesus Christ and I know that He loves each and every one of us. Each of us on this planet are sons and daughters of God. Jesus Christ teaches us that we should love one another ( John 13:34 ). I know that Jesus was talking about every single one of us. We should care and love everyone even if we do not agree with their beliefs or their actions. I know it can be hard to see through to someone else's side and look at things with their perspective.  Heavenly Father(God) knows what each and everyone of us is going through and he still loves you!
