The end is near

  Thank you for joining me in this final blog. Divorce plays such a center-stage role in all of our lives. We see it and some of its effects in the media and our daily lives, but why is divorce so common? Not only this, but is divorce even preventable, and if children are involved, how are they affected? These are all important questions to ask when it comes to talking about divorce, so let's dive into them. Divorce many times seems so common that almost every marriage seems to end in a divorce. Though there are many answers for why divorce happens, many of which are justifiable reasons, more than half of all divorces are regretted after two years, according to some researchers. For many divorces, the main driver is anger and frustration with your partner. These emotions are common for those who are married. No marriage is ever 100% smooth sailing. Trials and problems arise that cause tension in marriage. Sometimes, because of the media, gossip chase, comparisons, and other problem...

Parents, parents, and more parents

  Parenting we've all experienced it, whether it was us being a parent or us being parented by someone else, we've all been there for better or for worse. The question lies not in why is everyone parenting each other, but in how. How are we parenting? Is it bad or good parenting? Is there only one way to do good parenting, and what needs must the parents fulfill to be successful? Let's jump into it. Over the past generation, parenting has evolved from a more command structure with parents at the top to more of the opposite. Parents now listen to their children and focus more on their needs than previous generations. Why is this? A key simple answer is the way governments have changed since the 1980s. Before the 80s, most countries had authoritative governments in which the population was expected to obey their leaders or risk losing their lives. Little or no thought was given to emotions only whether people lived or not. This came in the form of kings, dictators, and wars. ...

Father or Financer?

  Men are the source of problems in the family. All they need to do is make sure the bills are paid. Is this statement true? Will life be much better if men just covered all the bills and that was all they did? If this is the case, what does the title Father really mean? Are fathers less important than mothers? First, are men the source of the problem regarding family? The simple answer to this question is that the answer varies based on the individual. The overall answer is no, though at times it can be men. Determining if an answer is right or not is not assigned based on gender. Issues arise within the family because of a clash of ideas. Both men and women have their own ideas on how to deal with issues. Men are right and women are right, there is no clear side that is more right than the other. You must be open to hearing both sides to fix the issue. It can be easier to sit back and let mothers handle children while men deal with providing for the children. It is a proven fact...

The Key of commucating

  What is the difference between a good commutation and a bad commutation, and how do we learn the difference? These questions and others have plagued humanity since the beginning of time. To see the effect of communication, we must know about commutations first. So, what is communication? Communication really can be almost everything. From the smallest hand gestures to the words we say all play a role in how a message is received. Though we may not notice it, communicating is code. We can't read each other's thoughts, so we encode thoughts into words, symbols, and or expressions. Then the message has to be decoded by the person receiving the code. Speeking code can be a difficult skill to master, especially since no one speaks the same code. Just like in war, there are code talkers and code breakers for daily communication. Unlike war, however, there is no real training in communication code reading and breaking. Instead, many times we are thrown into a problem and expected to...

What is Stress?

  Is it a danger to our society or a blessing, or can it be both? Not only does stress affect us as individuals, but as families as a whole. What is stress, to begin with, and what its outcomes are? So what is stress? Stress varies from person to person. Some say stress is when you push yourself too hard or when you're overwhelmed. Stress in a broad sense is when there is a strain in your life, whether it's working out, moving, or a diet. When it causes any strain, it could be classified as stressful. If there is no stress then there is no improvement, but if there is too much stress then there is no improvement as well. There could be a loss of improvement if there is too much stress. Finding the right balance of stress is up to individuals. No one's stress levels are the same. The same thing can be said about families. No two families are the same. Stress levels can and will differ from family to family. However, there are some similarities in what stressful events should...
