Fathers and Finance

 Growing up I always assumed fathers had the role of protector, the provider, and the disciplinarian. As a protector he makes sure we are safe and guarantees their child's safety by shaping their environment. They look at their surroundings, the household, the neighborhood, the community, and encourage safe opportunities, as well as remove hazards from the child's path. He is also the strongest member of the family we can always look to when we need help. As the role of provider, a father's ability to provide for his family. To be able to work hard and long hours to be able to support his family. So they are able to eat three meals a day and sleep in warm beds every night. Working so the mother can stay and care for the children. It’s a very hard thing to do but necessary for their family to live healthy and comfratable lives. The disciplinarian role is preparing their child for the future, fathers often have high expectations. They want their child to succeed, to see what&

Communication

  In relationships, communication allows us to explain to someone else what we are experiencing and what our needs are. The act of communicating not only helps us to meet our needs but also helps us to be connected in our relationships. Talking to each other, no matter how well you know and love each other, you cannot read your partner’s mind. We need to communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings that may cause hurt, anger, resentment, or confusion. Good communication is an important part of all relationships and is an essential part of any healthy partnership. All relationships have ups and downs, but a healthy communication style can make it easier to deal with conflict and build a stronger and healthier partnership. Effects of bad communication in relationships can cause escalated conflict, a negative perspective of your partner, feeling unseen or unknown, loneliness, lack of intimacy, difficulty setting and reaching goals, and even turning away from each other and seeking help

Family Stress

  Family stress refers to an imbalance between the demands facing a family and the ability of that family to handle the demands. Because of family stress arguments, fighting, and other poor communication skills can occur. Family stress can cause fatigue, health problems, and general exhaustion because of busy schedules. Confusion, especially in children about relationships with other family members. Certain family members may become more dependent on food, alcohol, and other substances to help them handle the stress around them. I know personally, I deal with stressors with humor. My family and fiance dislike how I do that because it seems as if it doesn’t matter to me. I do really care about the situation and half the time I don’t do it on purpose. I just automatically will joke about the matter to deal with the stress and make light of the situation. Stressors in a family could be trying to balance work and parenting, caring for a new baby while trying to maintain previous responsibi

Sexual Intimacy and Family Life

  In class, we discussed what healthy sexuality looks like. Many husbands and wives struggle to understand what healthy sexuality really is. To be honest, I had no idea there was healthy and unhealthy sexuality in a marriage. I just thought sex was sex. I thought sex was an act of love and couldn’t be taken negatively or unhealthy in a marriage. But there are many unhealthy characteristics and most are related primarily to pornography or addiction. People who have seen these unrealistic bodies and seeing these people be purely performance-based, focused on performance, climax, and perfection focused. Instead of connection-based such as focusing on the person and making intimate connection. Can cause a lot of wrong expectations of what his wife might want. These are some things I’ve never worried about. I’ve always just worried about not doing theses things before marriage. In my faith, we believe in the law of chastity. The law of chastity requires that sexual relations be reserved for
