Week 9

 This week in class we talked about the importance of communication in a relationship. Good communication can keep two people together if it is handled correctly. Communication is showing someone how you feel, opening to a person and expressing your thoughts and feelings. Also, how you handle and receive what they are trying to express to you can affect the outcome of the situation. We were able to talk about what it takes to truly understand how a person is feeling when they are talking to you, words are 14% of communication, tone is 35% of communication, and non-verbal communication is 51% (actions you make when speaking). We can lose or miss understanding a person when we are just texting or talking on the phone, we lose the emotion that the person is trying to convey especially if they are feeling angry or sad. Texting you are not able to type on how feel in just one message, there are types of texts you can send to try and express how you feel like ALL CAPS for being angry or adding a LOL or haha to express that you are happy. Although how are we truly going to know how you are feeling exactly without seeing. There are also forms of corrupt communication that can just seem harmful, like sarcasm can hurt someone's feelings. In class we were able to understand how to effectively let someone know how we are feeling, my teacher used a document called “the E.A.R of effective communication.” Using these steps can help your relationship with effective communication. The E stands for empathy, putting yourself in the other person's shoes and trying to see through their eyes. Understanding where they are coming from and seeing why the situation might make them upset. The A stands for assertiveness, “I feel” statements, expressing your own ideas and feelings of being direct, getting what and how you are feeling across to the other person. The R stands for respect, conveying an attitude of respect, even if you feel frustrated or angry with the other person. It can be easy to be defensive and say mean or harsh things to the other person, saying things like this will affect the relationship, often things are said that are not true just to hurt the other person because you are upset. We should try our best to avoided doing that, we should use the arguments to try and grow the relationship, to see the problems and how to address them if we feel attracted then we become more offensive with the other person and start putting up more and more walls that are bad for the relationship. If we can use these steps then we can have a better outcome from the argument, we will be able to grow close together because we know how the other person feels and we know how to effetely express how we feel as well. If we can express how we feel affectively we are able to let the other person know how we truly feel. I think doing these steps are very hard and will take some time to get them down because most people when they are upset get hardheaded and don’t want to change but I know that if we are able to do these steps effectively, we will have a much better outcome from our conversations and we will be able to learn and grow from having these experiences. I hope that you guys can have a understanding of the importance of these steps and why they should be taken. I hope that you can use these steps in your next conversation. Thank you, guys, for reading.

Week 6

  Getting engaged to someone is a very big step in a relationship. How can you show that person that you are truly committed to them? Being committed to someone is very important in a marriage, showing them true love and compassion is a necessary commitment. In class this week we were able to talk about what commitment means and the importance of a proper engagement. Going about marriage was very different years ago. In today's day we seem to talk about marriage, plan, and get engaged based on popularity. Making sure the engagement gets recorded and people can tell you have cute it is and things like that, that’s not how the engagement should be. An engagement should be something personal between the two and something special that they are able to look back on later in the marriage.   My teacher was able to share with us how he proposed to his wife. He told us that many ideas passed through his mind of what he wanted to do, he wanted it to be meaningful and he wanted to le...

Week 8

  This week in class we talked about stress and how easily it can affect the family and the relationships within. We were able to discuss what can cause stress and what can prevent it. We were able to talk about the difference between stress and distress. It can be stressful when you do not know what the day is going to be like, but you are not distressed about it. We can benefit from our hard and stressful times because we learn from our hard times and trials, people who have never had emotional difficulties will have a hard life. Like with the gospel, the Lord will give us trials in this life, they help us grow and to make us stronger, which also makes our relationship with God better and better. When people get married the marriage should have the two and God should have a big hand in the marriage as well, he is there to help lead and guide you, he will give you opportunities for you guys to grow stronger together. We should involve the lord in our stressful situations, he will ...
