Evil is Always Stupid
“You have to teach people that evil is always stupid.”
–Quote from class
There is not a good reason for it
to happen any more than there is a good reason that the Nazis killed so many
people. EVIL IS ALWAYS
STUPID. Evil should not have a
place in families. I think that I
have made my point for this one.
Family Relationships in Times of Crisis
In
times of crisis the family can either get closer to one another or can pull
away from one another and can become disconnected and full of tension. Families need to lean on one another
during times of crisis. The
relationships in the family may change but hopefully they will get rearranged
to be just as good or better.
Four Qualities of Parenting
Parents
should have the qualities of cooperation, respect, responsibility, and
courage. Parents need to cooperate
with their children by listening to them and taking their wants into
consideration as well as doing what is needed. Parents need to teach their children respect by showing them
respect. The best way to teach
respect is to demonstrate it.
Parents need to give children certain amounts of responsibility and make
them stick to the choices they make.
Parents need to have courage.
Courage means “to take heart.” Parents really need to have courage to
raise their children.
Planned, Paid For, and Paired Off- Dating
Dates
should be planned before hand, the man should pay, and couples should be paired
off. I really liked this because I
do admit that sometimes I cannot tell if I am on a date or not. It is good to have some guidelines that
go along with dates. Also, I feel
that these guidelines can help people to actually go on dates and not just hang
out. Motivation!
Cohabitation is a “No no”
Not
only is cohabitation against the commandments but it also does not help
relationships. Couples that
cohabitate before marriage are more likely to get divorced or have abuse in the
relationship. Waiting to live
together until after marriage increases the couple’s chance of having a
successful marriage. Cohabitating before marriage is hurtful to the stability of the
relationship.
Multiply and Replenish the Earth
God’s
commandment for us to multiply and replenish the Earth is still in effect. It is selfish for us to wait to have
children or decide not to have children because of our own personal, silly
reasons. We need to bring more of
God’s children to this planet to live in good homes where they will be raised
right. We should not put off
having children until we are older.
Father Involvement is Important
Fathers
are important for more than just bringing in a paycheck. Fathers help their children know about
gender roles and how to act in society.
Fathers also help raise children by supporting the mother. There are statistics backing up the
fact that children are less likely to be in poverty if there is a father in the
home. I believe that father
involvement is so important for the security and well being of the family.
Communication is Key!
A relationship without
communication is likely to fail.
Sometimes when there are misunderstandings, all that needs to happen is
for both people to tell there side of it and the issue will get straitened out
easily and painlessly. Different
People have different perspectives and so they do not see things the same. This can cause issues and conflict that
never needed to happen. Talking it
out is always the best solution.
The Lord Loves Us
“He loves you more than you love you” –Quote from class
God
loves us so much and has done so much for us. We are His children and He will never stop loving us. He wants us to be happy so he has given
us so many great opportunities.
God also loves the people on Earth that you love. A good way to get past issues that you
may have with someone is to realize that God loves them too because they are
his son or daughter.
Ways to Avoid Divorce
Most
of the time divorce can be avoided if the couple will follow some simple
advice. 1) Carefully select the person you want to marry and actually get to
know them. 2) Have great unselfishness and learn to work as a team.
TOGETHER. 3) Continuous dating
should take place before and after the wedding. 4) Follow the commandments to love and stay true to our
spouse for eternity. Marriages can
last if people follow these pointers.
I have loved this class :)
