final blog post

Divorce is a horrible thing that when couples go through this is hard.   70%  People who get divorced  said that they wished that they had saved the marriage. I find that is so interesting that most people would like to make a marriage work and resolve issues rather than giving up on the marriage. I will say that I that to make a marriage work that you both need to have open communication and clear boundaries with work and with family so that they don't over step those boundaries. I have found also that as I have seen my brothers and sisters get married that when they do have a conflict that they will work it out by talking with each other and come up with a solution to the problem. I am grateful for the examples that I have to learn how to make a marriage work. Something that I have learned to is when people do get divorced it affects not just them but also the children and the other families as well. Also if a couple does get divorced to not make the other person look bad but to always be on the positive side to make sure that the children can still have a good relationship with the person. I hope I can make sure to have good open communication and to learn patience and understanding where the person comes from. Sometimes Divorce is the solution but for the most part I feel like most things can be worked out even if they are serious problems and both people in the relationship what to make it work. I was told once that marriage is not for I you it is for the other person.  learning to put the other person first and to learn sacrifice. I also find that when I put god first I am more able to love my family better when I do.  Marriage is hard but I will say that it is worth it to make it work and it does take work but I find that I will much happier in the end if I am willing to work things out then to get a divorce.

Parenting

Parenting is something for one thing is not easy but the rewards are amazing when you see your children succeed in life adventures. I find there are many different ways to parent but I find that there are better ways then others to do to have the best outcomes. I also think that it is amazing to see how different things work with different families. I also find that it depends on the child as to want to do to help them become the best person they can be.  I have seen throughout my life how different each of my brothers and sisters are raising their children and to watch and learn from them. I enjoy learning how I can be an active parent in my future children's lives.  I find that parenting is not a easy task and it takes a lot of love , patience to raise children.  I know there will times were parenting will be harder than others but I also know It is a wonderful experience and it is amazing to see what your children will do in their lives. Me personally I think I lots to learn about parenting before I come a mother in the future and I am sure that I will still learn when I do become a mother. I am grateful know that I can learn more about good parenting skills for the future and to know that there are many wonderful examples in my life that I can turn to for guidance. I am also grateful for the wonderful opportunity that I have to such wonderful parents and to learn all that I can from them.
