communication

Communication in a relationship is very important
When we communicate with others it says a lot about what we are thinking and how others interrupt what we are saying. I also think what we say says  something about who we are and we want others to see us as a person.  I also in any relationship that we have it helps to be open and honest so that we say what we want to say. Sometimes I find that when I take the time to think about what I want to say I am careful to make sure that it is what to say. Communication is something that I have and will continue to do so that I can become a better communicator. I also find that it is interesting to see what difference it makes to have good, open communication and how much better the relationship can be. I hope that I communicate what I want to say to others. When it comes to marriage it is important that each person can what they are saying but also to not feel hurt because of something that was said. As I continue to learn more I hope that I can be a good communicator with my family and future family.

Thesis : Familys deal with crises in different ways section 8

Families deal with crises in different ways and they overcome them. I have found that with my family we try to work together to overcome crises that come your way. For example when my mother's mom passed away my mother went out earlier to say goodbye and to spend the last few days with her. At home we worked together to make sure that meals were made and that siblings got picked up from school and stuff while still working. I felt overwhelmed with everything and I got a migraine for the first time in awhile with everything that was going on but I was grateful when it was done so that I could morn the loss of my grandmother and go on with life. It was hard but I was able to become closer with my family. For other families that have lost a loved one it can be devastating and heartbreaking not knowing if they will ever get to see them again. I also think of the want they could have done and lost the moments that they didn't get to have or say to the person which can be hard. I am grateful that I have the gospel in my life and the knowledge that I can see my family again in the life to come.

This week we have learned about being  fully committed in marriage and to work through the hard times. I have found that sometimes people don't always go into marriage with the mind set to work through the trails and that things are not fun anymore so they just get divorced instead of trying to work things out. It is also interesting to see that people that do work through the hard times are grateful that they did. I thought it was good to understand that everyone is different and that it takes effort and patience to make a marriage work among other things too. Sometimes I have found that it is good to set boundaries with coworkers and friends so that they do not get in between you and your spouse. I hope when I am married that I will work at communicating well and learning how to work together. It is amazing to see the marriages that work and the couples that work together to make the marriage work. I am grateful that I have good examples of how to make a marriage work. I know that marriage is a wonderful thing and that it is rewarding, also I know that it takes work and is not always fun but well worth it.
