The Family in a Modern World

So far, I have discussed everything about families when it comes to relationships within a home, same sex attraction, dating, engagement and marriage. But there is one important thing that I have yet to talk about; how to make a family! Or in other words, sex. There is so much meaning and beauty behind sexual intimacy between a man and a woman who are lawfully wedded, but the world has made it seem like taboo. The world we live in has perverted this topic and made it something that people feel awkward to discuss about in public but are fine with taking advantage of in private. Sex can actually become something sacred and special when used correctly. I am going to try and break the norm and discuss freely what a healthy sexual relationship is and how we can do better at educating people about sex in a non-threating way. There is so much we can learn and use to benefit our relationships now and, in the future, if we are willing to open up to it. First off, why do peop...

This attribute is so vital when dating because believe it or not, how you date is a major indicator of how you will be when married. People who are goal driven in their da...

Depending on your age, status, and culture, there can be many different reasons why someone would date. The first most prominent reason why people date is for recreation. This is most common amongst teens and young college students. The whole motive behind this form of dating is to just have fun, relax, and meet as many people you can! This can be great when leading up to marriage and finding the right spouse, but it can also be dangerous if this is the only type of dating a person is ever willing to engage in. As we progress to the college age and beyond, we enter into a new motive for dating, and that is intimacy and companionship. Studies have shown that men tend to look for sexual intimacy while females seek after interpersonal intimacy. Progressing onwards, mate sele...
