First Comes Love then Comes Marriage then Comes......

       First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage. But what happens if we are two years into our marriage, and we don't have any children? My Husband and I are being smart and waiting until I graduate from college to have any children. Our parents each had children at the beginning of their marriages, which leaves us in a situation neither of our parents finds relatable. This means we are on our own when it comes to marriage advice.

    I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we view marriage as an eternal partnership, beyond death and into eternity! This contrasts heavily with the modern concept of marriage. Many are afraid to commit and choose cohabitation without getting married, and others do get married, but divorce rather quickly. This July will mark my second wedding anniversary. I am still very new to married life, and by no means an expert, but I have definitely experienced the hard times that might have driven other couples to divorce, and I totally understand that some situations are different and some couples truly should divorce, but I don't believe we are one of them. 

    Why do we stay in those difficult moments that drive us crazy? Why do we finish every argument before bed and never go to sleep angry? Why should we stay together when there could be a much better fit out there? 

      I have a million reasons WHY I married my husband, and a million more reasons why I will always STAY married to him. This blog will be dedicated to an argument for and on behalf of married couples everywhere who want to make it work and want to stay together even on the bad days. As I said, I am by no means an expert, but full disclosure, I AM taking a family relations class at the moment. Each week, as I ponder and study the material, you can expect me to talk about it here. Thanks for coming along for the ride, I hope you'll stay with me! Sincearly, Lisa.

Transition Periods of Power

     Every New Year, anniversary, and birthday, we make goals. Starting now, I am going to lose weight. Starting now, we are going to do different chores . Starting now, I am going to follow a budget. Starting now, I am going to do things differently. These are called transition periods. Through life and marriage, we will have dates like those discussed before, but transition periods can also be events like weddings, babies, moving, new jobs, etc.        All forms of transition periods provide a unique opportunity in our lives. Often, during these transition periods, it becomes easier to change habits in our lives like those mentioned in my opening paragraph. Using these transition periods to their advantage can have a positive effect on your life, but it can also accidentally create BAD habits , and that's where marriage comes in.          When we get married, we can create a new lifestyle and atmosphere as a couple; t...

Advice Throught Life

Over the past week, my mind has been focused on one of my best friends in the world, K, who is getting married next week! As I write about newlyweds and the reasons it's worth it to stay, I can't help but think about her and her husband D, and the difficult first year they have ahead of them .   Luckily, my mind has not been all consumed by wedding bells this week, I have also had the opportunity to study the scientific method and research in genera l! When we take advice, there are multiple factors we should truly consider. As we take advise from others, we need to take everything they say with a grain of salt, your parents, family members, field experts, peers, social media, books, movies, bloggers, and influencers often rely on their own personal experience and bias’s witch although valuable may not always apply to your family's needs.
