Is communication necessary?

  Why is communication important? First off, what is communication? Communication can be the words you choose or the tone of your voice, but it can also be nonverbal, like body language. The words you decide to use and the tone of your voice that you use with those words can help you verbally express how you feel. However, your body language speaks volumes more than words can. The way you stand or how you rest your arms, but the biggest factor is your facial expressions. For many people, they don’t always realize that they are giving themselves away with the face that they make. The way we use our communication will also help or destroy our relationships. In my experience, there are people who don’t speak up until it's too late. What I mean by that is that people don’t express their feelings, and they just let it build up until it blows up in someone’s face. Emotional build up can lead to an outburst and then fighting. If we don’t regularly express our emotions with our partner, th...

Does having fun do good?

  Who doesn't like having fun? Actually, roughhousing is a perfect thing for kids. It helps them use up some energy, which can calm them, and it is good for their development. I can see just how true this is. Having contact, eye contact too, with their parents is crucial. Having eye contact with parents and other adults helps them to gain confidence to talk to people and sometimes helps them with shyness. Contact with parents is needed too.

It actually helps their central nervous system develop.  So pretty much what I am saying is you can never give kids too many hugs and kisses. Even just holding hands with kids is good for them. It’s weird to think that this is true, but I know it is.  When I was a child, I got a few hugs every now and again. I knew my parents loved me, that was out of the question, but I always felt something was missing. When I moved and met a couple of other families in my n...

Mawage

  Mawage is what bwings us together today. Who doesn't love the Princess Bride? Such a great movie, but it’s the quote I want to focus on. Most people say that marriage is “the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship”. This is just the dictionary term though. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Through marriage, they strive to do their best together in life, together. However, many people think that marriage needs to be delayed. For many reasons, all seems valid. People say marriage needs to be delayed. You need to make sure you have a stable job, have a stable home, don’t get serious with anyone until you have these things, until you’re truly ready for that big step. For many people, they say this is to deter any rash decisions, which is good, but we also need to incorporate our Heavenly Father in what would be good for us to do.   Again, those all "seem" like good ideas, and for the most part they are, but to me, many...
