Threats to marriage

This week our class touched on trends in marriage and while I learned a lot about the topic itself, what really stuck with me is the importance of sharing your beliefs and how it can affect others and the world itself. The world as we know it now is quickly changing and in my opinion not in a good way. I often worry about what life will be life for my children in school and in their adulthood. The trials that they will have to face will be much different than the things I went through. Battling the adversary will be harder than ever. Now is the time to teach our generation, and future generations, the truth. The truth is also quickly “changing”. It is so hard to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. We need to teach our children in a whole new way than we were taught. My husband and I have been talking about family scripture study, family home evening and everything in between. It is so important to us that our children know what is expected of them and how to handle challenges in life. We want them to know they can always come to us, talk to their church leaders, how to follow the guidelines of the church. I’m still learning how to effectively share all of this information we learn in class, but I know I’m in the right place. This class causes me to really think and evaluate the important things in life. There are huge issues, laws changing, life changing events happening that are changing our world drastically and we need to try to keep up. It’s hard, and even harder to watch, but for me it is just as important to be an example to those around us and especially to our children.
