this week

communication is very important in family. when we communicate we share memories and and meaningful things with each other. we need it also because it is not enough for us to just share motions we need to hear the tone of how the person is saying it. We must be verbal in all that we do and say because without it we can take things in a different way than what is really intended. texting is one of the worst ways in my opinion to communicate why cant we just call or just go talk to the person in person. it is a better way than to just text because texting can be taken in different ways because we don't hear tone.

Lesson 7

We learned about martial (physical) intimacy. Some of the challenges are time, critical of each other, hurt, or even just to tried. In a marriage it is okay to be intimate so make time for it.some of the opportunities are to learn to work together, learn consideration, feel loved, supported, and have a better connections with each other. We learned about Gottman's magic five hours which are, for 2 minutes x 5= 10 minutes part thoughtfully, 20 minutes x 5= 10 minutes reunions, 5 minutes x 7 days admiration and appreciation, 5 minutes x 7= 35 minutes affection, and 2 hours weekly date which all added up is five hours. I think that everyone should to the Gottman's Magic five hours because it will only help be closer to your spouse.

lesson 6

In this lesson you learn about the transitions in marriage. Like getting used to sleeping with someone else in the same bed, living space, bathroom space, learning how to share things, and many other things as well. There are a lot of things that we have to do differently once we get married. I know that my mom and dad said it was weird at first because you just aren't used to it but after a little bit you get used to it and it is normal to you.
