lesson 5

There are four different types of love. Agape which is not feeling based, Storage which is parent/ child love, Eros with is romantic/ sexual and passionate, and Phillia which is close, friendly, brotherly love. We need all of these types of love in a marriage because each one is different and all are meaningful. Ya sure Storage is a parent/ child type of love but that doesn't mean that you cant care for your husband or wife like you care about for a child. Love is a very strong word and with it comes these types of love and I feel like to have a happy and a great marriage we do need to have all four because you want to love them as a friend and be there best friend as well as have Eros love for them which is romantic and passionate without Eros there isn't  a marriage. Before we get married we go out on dates and a date is being paired off, planned, and paid for. Without the three P's there isn't a date and there are three P's for fathers/ husbands which are provide, protect, and preside. The fathers want to provide for there families and to protect them as well as preside over them.

lesson 4

we have a lot of differences oh what females do or feminine things are vs. what males do or masculine things are. Feminine things are associated with nurturing like being careful when playing with dolls like they are really babies and wanted to take care of people. Females communication is verbal and well as very emotional. Females will start crying over the littlest things in life especially when they are a mother and their little child gets hurts. Men are strong and when something happens to them they try and just "man up" because they don't want to be looked at like they are weak. Men are also very protective. They want to be able to protect there women and family. They are aggressive in play. They want to go and rough house, get scares, and prove themselves to be tough. In families it is like this as well. The men want to be the provider and they want to feel like they can protect there family. The females or the mothers want nurture her children and take care of them.

lesson 3

In families you have the class and the culture. we can pick and choose what our favorites things are to pass on as part of our culture but class we cant. If we put our whole heart and mind into something and lean on the lord we can do anything. when we have the lord in our life and part of our family's life we can do so much more. What we learn in our family we will teach our children so that they can pass it on to their children. Which is part of our class level.
what are the purposes of families?
the two main purposes of families are to protect and to be unified as one.we always want to protect our families and we will do whatever it takes to do that. we want them to be same. we also want to feel like we are one so we have dinner together or have family prayer and scripture sturdy, and family game nights. when we do more things with our families we will become unified as one.

Sept. 30th through Oct. 5

This week we talked about theories and what the different ones are and there meanings. The three theories are the exchange theory, the symbolic theory, and the conflict theory.
In the exchange theory it is a give/ take, informal agreements, and if it is unbalanced it doesn't work out the way it should.
In the symbolic theory all behavior has meaning. meaning may not be shared which means confusion, frustration, and disappointment.
The conflict theory has limited resources so we have to figure out how we will distribute everything so that the conflict can be resolved.
