I have a spot for them on my page but too lazy to put everyone in by URL. Read their blogs, I'm sure they will have better insights than me!

Family System
This week's discussion was on the family system. I had enjoyed this discussion, it made me think about the families and how we rely so much on our families even though we don't think we do. Everything that happens in the family whether its the mother who's having a bad day, it affects the husband and children or vice versa. My teacher did this demostration with other students from my class, and had them in a circle holding hands. He would go to each student and tell a story about what's going on with this student and pull them back, and as you see the student being pulled, the other students were being pulled as well. One person's problem affects those around them. It's interesting and I've noticed that if I'm having a bad day, my husband is being affected from my actions.
Also we talked about rules and how rules would affect the family system and how it was important to have those foundations to keep the family on the same page.
Feel free to leave any comments. :)

Family Trends
I was suppose to post this last week, but wasn't sure if we were suppose to. Here are my thoughts about last week's lesson. We discussed family trends and why birth rates and marriage rate was decreasing and how divorces and cohabitating rate were increasing.
After the class, I was very interested in the subject and how surprising the information was. I had never had thought that everything affects each aspect. Because cohabitating was becoming more common that they would date for 5+ years before they made a real commitment to each other or sometimes they never commit to each other but have children. Once they've made a commitment, they would wait another couple years before having children and by that time they have 1-2 kids. Therefore, the birthrate decreased. I think that cohabitating is interesting and more interesting if they have children, it think that it teaches children that they don't have to make commitment to other people or they will most likely follow their parent's footsteps. I know a few people in my family that cohabitated and some of thier relationships worked out and some other's didn't.
I wish that more people knew more about the gospel and what blessings they could recieve from having a family and to know their purpose here on earth is.
