As a part of one of my Marriage and Family courses, I have created this blog to share with you all the things I have learned and start some very important conversations about what marriage and family is all about and some of the ideas we get wrong. So stay tuned for more! I welcome you guys to comment on, and chat with me on these posts to get people's opinions and thoughts on these subject matters :)

Sixth Post! The Beginning Stages of Marriage

           Happy June!           Hello again readers and welcome to another discussion on my personal insights into marriage and family relationships! Today I wanted to get the ball rolling and discuss the transitional periods in a marriage. This can be any period of time where there is a big shift in the dynamic or form of the family unit or couple. Some of these big shifts could be officially getting married, adjusting to married life and cohabitation, choosing to have a first child, and decisions regarding having additional children.            There are several things to consider about these periods of change that I would like to talk about. One thing that’s been on my mind is transitioning into married life and living with your spouse. Growing up one thing I dreaded and even now don’t prefer is sharing a room and bed. I like to choose sporadically when I'm going to bed, like to be by myse...

Last post! Wrapping up

Hello my friends!  For those that don't know I started this blog for a class I was taking. The class was called Family Relations and each week we studied various topics of the family and marriage. Although I was required to start this blog it quickly became a very therapeutic experience for me. I was able to talk about my opinions and experiences as openly as I wanted to because I knew that anyone who read it would probably not even know me!   I'm so glad I got this opportunity to create this blog and be able to write about these things I'm so passionate about. If you've been here since the beginning, you might know that I am a psychology major with a minor in marriage and family studies. I've always been fascinated by how these unspoken systems work (or lack thereof) and how we can help each other to create better and stronger relationships!   And I hope you guys learned some stuff along the way as well. I know I am not perfect so there are many other sources t...

Seventh Post! Marital Intimacy and honesty

        Hey readers and welcome back to our discussion of marriage and family relationships! Today’s topic is a little more uncomfortable than others just because of some intimate subject matters. However, I do believe that these conversations not only are beneficial to discuss but are vital to those who are considering marriage with someone.          How did you first hear about sex? The age we hear about this can really depend, when we consider where someone is from and what culture they grew up in. I think the majority of us in the United States can say that they learned about the concept of sex at a relatively young age. For me, I think I learned about sex about the age of maybe 8 or 9. I had a neighborhood friend who was a year older than me and must have thought I needed to be under her wing with this subject matter. Luckily, it was not in an abrasive or crude way that I know a lot of others have experienced. I do believe that that...
