What is Today's Definition of Dating?

This week we discussed many things about dating in today's day and age. We looked at and compared some of the dating norms from today with some of the dating norms from back when our teacher was dating. We also examined some different concepts and teachings from the book "How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk."  It was interesting to see how much things have changed with technology and our culture. Today the word dating has had its definition changed. More often than not people think that dating not only means going out on dates with someone, but it can also mean that you are exclusively seeing this person. I was speaking with one of my classmates and she was pointing out that kids dating today is even looked down upon by other kids. If one girl is going on dates with many different guys she can be shunned or disliked by other girls for doing what everyone one should.

Love and Intimacy

This last week we spoke about marital intimacy and the benefits of knowing the differences in males and females views on intimacy.  As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we believe that sexual intimacy should be saved for your spouse only after marriage.  God gave us the commandment to "multiply and replenish the earth."

The message is called "Love and Marriage." I would like to share 4 truths that she brings to attention, and discuss each one a little bit.  " Truth #1:  Truths about love and marriage are brought to you by the Holy Ghost f

Divorce

I can't imagine the hardships that are faced by the many families having to go through this awful process. There are so many factors to these hardships and I would like to talk about a few things that I have learned about and that I have seen in my life. Unfortunately I have some very close friends that went through a divorce. It's hard because it seems like there is nothing wrong on the outside, but with divorce there is always something going on behind the scenes. I can't be 100% sure on the reasons for the divorce of my friends, but I have a hunch that my friend may have been seeking to fill emotional holes without consulting her husband about them or attempting to work on them or fill them together. With divorce sometimes there are difficult situations where your partner may not be willing to even talk about anything or about the reasons why. Some of the best things we can try to do to save the marriage is serve your spouse. Many times with divorce one party is lo
