Importance of genders

This week I read a talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson called "let us be Men" I was really touched by an experience he shared about one thing his father did to buy his wife an iron. Every gender has a different responsibility in making matrimony work, our heavenly father has established sacred responsibilities for everyone to accomplish to have a successful marriage. when Elder Christofferson shared his experience, he made it clear that as men we are responsible for providing what's necessary for the family to live comfortably in a house where the woman is in charge of making the home organization work. 

There is an importance in every gender God has created in order to make families, organizations, and life in general work in an optimal way. God has created both genders according to the image and similarity to our Heavenly parents. Distinct roles are to be played by both genders female and male, roles that only specific genders can fulfill according to the plan of our Heavenly Father. When the order that God has put in our divine nature, and gender responsibilities are changed when several phenomena occur within societies, it is important that within the families the same order that God has established is followed.

This week I was taught that we often call gender what once used to be called sex, well as you can tell “sex” is a little bit of a strong word, especially because we are not talking about sexual relations. I would like to talk about the difference between genders, and I would like to write it as gifts, what gifts every gender has. Even from a young age, genders start having different behaviors as simple as it may seem, most girls like to play with dolls pretending they are babies, and boys like to take apart cars and resemble them again, now the question is what does that tell us?

In one of the articles, I read today I found a quote that I enjoyed by President Russell M. Nelson in his talk Spiritual treasures November 2019 "From the dawning of time, women have been blessed with a unique moral compass—the ability to distinguish right from wrong. This gift is enhanced in those who make and keep covenants. And it diminishes in those who willfully ignore the commandments of God." Just as he expressed this characteristic that women have, I know that God has provided gifts and talents to men and women to fulfill their divine duties here on earth, duties that can only be magnified by obeying and following the order God has established for us.

Some of the main characteristics I have found regarding character differences between male and female are the following:

Male:

1.     Many aggressive responses: Even from a young age as males we like to solve our problems trying to make them bigger, I mean that often males tend to solve problems by fighting.

2.     Natural desire to provide: A personal experience to me is that whenever I know I am not making money by doing any daily activity I feel like I am useless. This happens often, and it comes as one of our divine gifts and responsibilities.

3.     Competitive

4.     Better developed spatial orientation.

Female:

1.     Social communicative

2.     Ability to read emotions

3.     Nurturing

4.     Detail

5.     Creative

I don’t know about what everybody else thinks but whenever I think of all of the characteristics, I just mentioned I can only think of my mom.

I would like to clarify these characteristics in males and females do not often are the same for everyone, we all have what makes us special and unique, but the data I just shared is what has been more accepted in the world.

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...
