Why a family?

God loves all his children and he is mindful of every one of them in their distinct needs. Our heavenly father has created a plan for us to experience love in our lives, the first love a human being can experience is the love of family, the same kind of love our father who dwells in heaven has for us.

The way that our heavenly father has created for us to be happy has love at the center of it, this love can help us achieve the plan of happiness that God has prepared for us. When God commanded Adan and eve to have children, he did it for us (everyone on this earth) so that we can experience the opportunity of having a family, and so that we can experience some of the love that our heavenly father has for us, so that we give that same love to children, siblings and every other person leaving close to us.

Have you ever thought about how life would be without your family? Without having the experience of love and being loved, throughout this life? I have thought of it and it is indeed really hard just to think about the fact of not having somebody around me to support me when I need to. That is exactly why the plan that God has created for us is also called the plan of happiness because it involves families as the central part of it, and that’s why experience happiness only through this true love.

“The first step is to comprehend the doctrinal foundation for marriage. The Lord declared that marriage is the legal wedding of one man and one woman: “Marriage is ordained of God unto man.

This week I was studying and learning a lot concerning the relations between the members of the family. I studied several theories of a successful marriage, a theory is an attempt to explain a phenomenon, and yes, we could say that a successful marriage is phenomenal nowadays. Some of these theories are called the exchange theory (giving the same we receive in a relationship), and conflict theory (conflicts in order to express each party in a relationship), and I will like to expand my feelings on this theory called family system theory.

“Wherefore, it is lawful that he should have one wife, and they twain shall be one flesh, and all this that the earth might answer the end of its creation.” This quote from President Nelson talks about the importance of marriage in the plan of happiness, being legally married has always been God’s will unto men. Of course, love has to be the center of that marriage, to me “they twain shall be one flesh” means a lot, I relate that phrase to the word “share.” When a couple decides to get married, they decide to share everything they possess with their spouses, they share goals, they share beliefs, they share love, and only if they do so the Lord will rule in that marriage. When the Lord rules over that marriage is when success comes, it is never meant to be easy but it will be him the one who will save the marriage when it is dangerous. 

If one of your fears is to get married because of the failure fear then you are a reasonable person, but if you put the lord at the head of your marriage you are a smart person, and I am sure the Lord will make that marriage work even if it is hard.

Yesterday my mom also told me that every day is challenging to hold up a home and a family, because it seems like the world itself is against every good principle of union between families, but she also told me that when things are done in the correct order, God is there to help families be successful.

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...
