Hi. The semester is getting done!

In this week, we talked about divorce and remarriage.

Nowadays the rate of divorce is increasing.

So this lesson was important.

I don't want to get divorce or remarriage, but I need to prepare for a case.

Also, if i knew this stuff, it would help me understand those who from a single parent-family.

I understood that parents are really important in a family.

I want to be a good mother and last my family.

I am really appreciated that I have my bio parents still.

I enjoyed all of the lessons that i learned though this course.

Now I am pretty confident of my future family.

12. Week 11: Parenting

Hi.

In this week, we learned about parenting.

I have never thought about parenting before.

But, through this lesson, I became confident of parenting.

Unconsciously, I am used to my parents' style.

I think it is so true that children learned from their parents a lot.

I realized that I should raise my kids wisely in the future.

I really enjoyed the lesson.

11. Week 10: Fathers & Finances

Hi.

In this week, we talked about fatherhood and finances of family system.

I realized many things through this lesson.

And also it reminds me of my father a lot.

As I mentioned in the fatherhood paper, my dad is not a good example.

I really had hard time because of his incapability.

So I hope my husband would be the opposite person.

I really want my future children to be happy in my family.

I understood a father is really important in a family.

10. Week 09: Communication & Mutual Problem Solving

Hi.

In this week, we learned the strategies for mutual decisions in a family system.

What we've learned in this week really helped my understand good family systems.

Especially, the video "Elder Henry Eyering and Elder Cleon Skousen - Inspired Unity" was so impressed. (you can watch here:http://youtu.be/JtwpPT1QQQE)

I felt that how holy a family is, how it is inspired.

I was so happy to join this church and know the gospel.

If we follow the living prophets'words, we can make our families successful and happy.

9. Week 08: The Family Under Stress

Hi.

This week I learned common family stressors.

There are so many stressors that a family can encounter.

10 significant stressor events in a family system are:

- Miscommunication
- Favoritism
- Different routines
- Financial problems
- Different expectations
- Alcoholic
- The relationship with mother in law
- Cut off conversation
- Indifference
- Smart phone(Electronic devices)

The most important thing is the way that a family response to them.

In order to last a family long, a husband and wife should deal with the stressors wisely.

I hope my future spouse and I could that well.

8. Week07: Sexual Intimacy and Family life

Hi. In this week, we talked about sexuality, which is one of important parts of marriage life.

I think sex is to make a baby as well as to express love.

So it is important to have a sex frequently after marriage to keep family life.

And after seeing the powerpoint named "Friend, Facebook, and Fidelity", I clearly decided the marital boundaries. Especially, these days that every one has facebook, it is really important to make the boundaries. It helped a lot.

Also because I had gone to girls high school, I totally agree with children need to get educated according to their genders. I will teach my future children in a different way , depending on their genders.

Through these lessons in this week, I clearly knew that which ones are important in marriage life.

Have an awesome weekend!

7. Week 06 : Transitions in marriage

Hi. How are you doing?

We are in half way through winter semester!!

In this week, we've learned about transitions in marriage.

We talked about what makes a good marriage a lot.

Especially, it is important to built desirable family traditions and atmosphere in early marriage life.

The traditions and atmosphere influence a family during entire life.

A husband and wife should be wise, contribute to family, and serve each other.

As a woman, I liked these lessons in this week, because I learned what is important after giving birth.

Not to get divorced and be happy, a husband and wife need to understand their needs and express unaffected love.

I think being a parent is really hard and important to everyone.

But the important thing is how can we deal with it in life.

As a result, a couple should play a role as parents as well as lovers wisely.

While learning these, I reflected on my childhood and my parents.

They are willing to serve family and satisfied themselves.

I am really appreciated, and I want to be example parents to my future children.
