Communication

I think that communication is important. You have to be able understand your spouse to make a marriage work. However complete honesty can sometimes not be the best policy. But one spouse should know where the other is coming from on a certain issue.

Family Under Stress

When the times comes there will be a new addition to the new family. A baby! and all the stress that comes with it. There is so much that has to change because every decision affects this other person. Disagreements will follow, but eventually there will be no problem, it just takes work.

Intimacy

I prefer to keep my thoughts personal regarding this.

Transitions in Marriage

Once a person is married there will be problems. Its inevitable and unavoidable. Thats because marriage takes work. Both imperfect people have to work to be happy in their marriage.

Preparing For Marriage

So one of my roommates is engaged and going through this right now. To be honest it looks terrifying. On the other hand I can't wait. I'm really looking forward to going through the temple for the first time. And i know that the man I marry will be able and worthy to use the priesthood and take me to the temple.

Gender and Family Life

We talked a lot about same-sex attraction. I thought it was interesting how some people who feel that way, are confused. They think, well my body responded so I must be gay. When in reality that is not what it means. In the society we live in now it is easy to get confused. It is important to know the difference.

Social Class

Something I found interesting is how social class can effect your mentality and confidence.  Kids can be mean without realizing it. just by talking about something they hear at home can have a negative effect on other kids. They can feel less important or inferior to their peers.
