Last but not least.

This is the last week of the semester. For our last assignment, we had to make a list of ten things that we learned and that we thought that we needed to remember from the semester. For this last blog post, I wanted to share just a few of these things that I thought that I needed to remember. These four little snapshots or concepts of this whole semester I think are some of the most important things that I learned this semester. I learn a lot and I am changed and I am so excited that I got to take this class. I highly recommend this class because it teaches some great concepts for the family and how the family is great, and I have loved every minute of this class.  This blog has been so fun, and I hope to add more to this blog as I have a future family. Family is so important and one of the best things on earth.

Go on dates at least three times a month.

              This concept was introduced early on in this semester. I grabbed onto this concept like it was the last thing on earth I have really love this idea of at minimum three dates a month. this really gives time for the mom and dad or husband and wife to really connect with each other instead of other things getting in the way. this gives the couple time to really work on some of these other things that I am about to talk about. it is a time where they get to be just the two of them kids not being in love is not the grandparents, not their friends it is just the husband and wife the real important stuff in the relationship.

Boundaries

              This concept refers to the boundaries and how hard it is to establish clear and defined boundaries in this class. we really want boundaries to be like the very nice white picket fence around the house we want it to be enough boundaries that other people cannot come in and strong enough boundaries where the people inside can have enough communication to effectively work. if we have a barbed wire fence and cement walls as boundaries then the communication is not great in laws to get pushed away and nobody gets loaded. on the other hand, if everything is open and free and there is no fence around the house everybody can get in and everybody knows everything about you. but if you have a fence a very nice welcoming fence around the house people can learn things about you and not know things that they are not supposed to me, think boundaries are so effective in a great relationship.

Communication is key.

              Communicating is hard. lots of times especially when we are young, we are told to be quiet and not listen to anything and be this kind of silent shareholder in this relationship. We need to learn how to communicate, especially with our significant other communication is hard and it is a hard skill to learn but when we have clearly defined boundaries, and we are communicating all the time communication becomes easier. In marriage but in a courtship or dating when we are willing to talk and establish a small relationship with somebody, things are better. this not only works for intimate relationships but group projects in school, work environments, and any other communication that we need to have in our lives.

Family and its many characters.

Families come in many different shapes sizes and colors. And the one thing we do know about family is its hard work and it does not come easy. there are certain roles in a family then people need to follow or fall under. there are always going to be parents and there are going to be children and they each have their own roles and jobs in a family. parents are there to protect and provide and preside over their family their children and their significant other. the children's job is to be there for the parents to learn from families come in all different shapes and sizes but ultimately everybody finds their place and their job so that the family can run smoothly. does not matter how big or how small the family is everybody finds their roles and it does their job.
