family deep dive

  What makes your family, our family? Is it a set of rules? How does each of its members interact with one another? Throughout this week, these questions, and many others, have been circulating through my mind. My professor shared a story that was interesting to hear. My professor met a man who became a drug addict at 11. The man had come from a family that constantly fought with one another. When he did drugs, the fighting between his siblings and parents stopped, and they all turned on him. The man never liked drugs and didn't enjoy being in trouble. Seeing his family stop fighting with one another was enough of an incentive for him to keep going back to drugs though. My professor, a licensed family and marriage therapist, has told us that he has seen a trend of this with drug addicts. This view of thinking is both frightening and fascinating to see drug addicts through. This story made me wonder: How do we change our family dynamics to achieve a specific outcome to avoid a scena...

  My mind was blown this week by everything I learned, though I wish I could write everything out for you guys. Let's be real, you don't want to read ten pages of me going on and on, and I don't have the time to do that. I will put my sources at the bottom, so you can do your own research whenever you like. With that aside, let's dive into it. I'm just going to come out and say it. Cohabiting before marriage is such a bad idea. Even having sex outside of marriage is a bad idea. Women, I'm going to be honest with you, the big reason men would want to cohabit is to get sex out of you. They don't have marriage in mind. I know, I've never cohabited before, so you can ask, how would I know? In that case, read the resources . It clearly states that wanting to have a sexual relationship after your marriage is more fulfilling and happier. Sorry guys, but you're not off the hook yet, but this is also for women too.
