Families! a Joyful place

 Hello everyone I am Pedro Arreaga, I was born in Coatepeque a small town in Guatemala, and yes that is located in Central America. My family means everything to me, I was born to goodly parents who focused their efforts on raising us the best way they could. I am the oldest of 6 children, three boys and three girls, I believe we have a lovely family and I love them all. I am majoring in Agriculture engineering technology at BYU Idaho, I really love my major. I really like almost everything that has an engine in it, so, I would spend a lot of time driving whatever has wheels, I do it for a job and for fun.

I came up with the idea to start a blog because of several reasons. I have always strongly believed in the power of family; my family has brought so much joy to my life. When I was 15 years old, I started my studies at boarding school in Guatemala 4 hours away from my family, ever since that time I have learned to appreciate every second I spend with my family. Currently, I am a couple of borders away from my family and that sense of missing them and loving them remains just as strong, every day I wish I could have all my siblings and parents beside me, but this is how life is we all for one reason or another need to find our own ways and paths through life to accomplish the goals we have set.

I have to confess that I am scared of initiating my own family, I am 22 years old, and I think it’s hard to build a home, especially in these times when everything is uncertain and seems to be a “bad moment to start a family.” Several thoughts have come to my mind regarding love, families, having children, and just marriage in general, starting with how hard it is to find a spouse. I have decided that I will change the way I think, and I am already acting to make that fear disappear.

There are still many ways to build a healthy home, my purpose is to share what I am learning about families, I intend to share experiences I have had with my family, insights of principles that I consider important to make household work, responsibilities, and duties I consider important to follow to create a good environment at home, and many other thoughts regarding families.

Something I have been thinking about lately is some of the responsibilities parents and children have at home. I strongly believe in the organization a home should have so that every member of the family contributes to making a family work. Just as in every business, families should delegate responsibilities that must be accomplished by every member of it, accomplishing these tasks contributes to the stability of the family in several ways. One of the biggest tasks is finding these duties every member of the family should accomplish, it takes time, planning, and trying different options to finally find a convenient path family members should follow. Even after finding the responsibilities families will never find everything perfect, but it becomes easier to overcome challenges when everyone contributes with their portions at home, and all of them put effort into accomplishing every individual’s task.

Throughout the history of the world, organizing, planning, and setting order in all things has always worked, these are the principles I would like to bear testimony this time, I have found comfort in organizing and planning. I know these principles will always work in the process of building a HOME.

What do I want my marriage to be like?

What do I want my marriage to be like? It's a question I have never done to myself before, but it is a question every young single adult who desires to get married should always ask themselves. What would some of the consequences be if we don't ask ourselves this question before marriage? This last week I was studying a little more concerning the consequences of not asking ourselves this question before marriage, and there is also that we need to talk about this topic with our girlfriend or boyfriend before the proposal. When we avoid this topic while dating there is a higher chance that we do not agree with our partner on the kind of relationship we want to have after marriage. Some of the problems that a couple may face during matrimony can only be solved by an agreement between the partner, and in a relationship, there are always going to be two different points of view, that is the importance of marrying someone that agrees, and strives to understand what we are thinking so...

The responsibility of providing

 There are several responsibilities that come with marriage and even though we always think that we need to love mainly there are numerous duties that come with starting a family. One of those duties is to provide the necessities to maintain a family, which often requires keeping children and a spouse that stays at home mainly and it takes effort and indeed some work. This issue is normally bigger when a family is just starting to grow when the couple begins is usually when they start with almost none of the resources. One thing I love about my Dad is that he will always be willing to do whatever it takes to provide enough for his family. I remember that when I was 13 years old I remember that his business was not going good, there were a lot of economical issues in my family and my parents had just had their fifth child, and things weren't looking as good for both of my parents. At that time I remember clearly that he started to try things he had never done before, one of those th...

Comunication

 What is the importance of communication in a relationship? how can it help the family to have better results in daily life? Well, think that communication is just how everything starts and how everything holds together in a relationship, when there is a lack of communication that's when the problems begin to come without a solution, communication can result in disagreement most of the time, but there is not another way to solving problems with family or partner than communication. Now, there are a lot of types of communication and it can happen in a lot of different ways to let a message be known by someone else, since the beginning of the world any kind of beings have been able to express what they want or need in several ways, animal communicate to each other in different ways to let the others of the same species know what they are thinking, and now that I come to think of it we all can even let other species know what we are thinking, by the way, we express ourselves, verbally...
