Hello!! Here is a little intro...

 Hello everyone! My name is Emily and I am a university student studying Marriage and Family:)


A lot of responses I get when I tell people what I study are "Don't you know more than 50% of marriages end in divorce. It's a lost cause." or "So you are studying on how to be a good wife?" 

I am choosing to study about marriage and family because I believe that the family in a central unit in our lives and the importance of it has diminished and changed over time. I want to help reignite the significance and worth of these kind of relationships in our lives; and also assist others to develop the skills to have healthy marriages and families

I am here writing this blog to give my two cents on the issues that are impacting our world and culture today regarding this topic.

I hope we can discover together and I would love to hear your opinions and application as well! So feel free to comment and discuss.

Let's dive in.

:)

Is Dating Really That Important?

 I hope you all have had a good week! Today's topic is super interesting to me and hopefully you can find some good ideas from it as well. The topic is DATING! I talked to my roommates and friends a lot about dating this week to get their opinion and take on specific aspects of dating such as: would you ever ask a guy out, do you think the guy should pay, what kind of things do you look for in a date, are dating and hanging out different? These are the questions that we discussed and it led to super interesting discussions.  I would love to hear your answers and opinions to those questions! Every culture is different but for the culture that I am in I feel like dating is kind of a big deal. People hang out until they decide they like each other and then they straight into boyfriend and girlfriend status. As I learn more about the importance of dating I reflect on my life and the way that I think about it now. I am going to use my life as an example of how dating in imp...

Intimacy Transcends the Physical

I hope you all had a great week! I really liked talking last week about stereotypes in marriage relationships. This week I am excited for the topic as well. The topic is sexual intimacy in marriage. In my religion we believe in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman and the physical bounds that are set by God. Frankly, we believe in saving sex for marriage. I definitely believe that the reason this has been the norm in our culture for the past hundreds of years is not only because of the rules of society but because it makes sense because it comes from God. Today, we are not going to focus on the religious side of this topic but on the scientific and cultural side. Basically, I am writing this blog to help others understand the importance of marriage and family and everything that comes with those relationships and being sexually intimate is such an important factor. We have talked about and established in past research that there are differences between men and women. That...

Aren't We All Just Big Babies

Hello everyone!!! I hope you all had a great week:) Comment down below something fun you did! This week we are going to discuss the topic of PARENTING! Super exciting. I myself am not a parent but I cannot tell you the insights I gained from studying more on this topic. Parenting is obviously something that the majority of us will have to undertake and even in some of us do not have children maybe you will have nieces and nephews that you are asked to take care of for a certain period of times, multiple times in your life.  Think back on your childhood. How did your parents’ parent? Were they strict? Were they absent? Did they show you lots of love? Do you have siblings? There are so many aspects to childhood that I think go unnoticed. How we were raised made us who we are today. Let me say that again. The way you were raised is a big part of why you are the way you are today. It is important for a parent to understand this. That your child literally knows nothing but what they...
