Never Stop Loving

Growing up did your parents ever give you “the talk”? Lots of kids have grown up not getting the sex talk from their parents because it’s too awkward and their parents don’t want to bring it up. Lots of my friends didn’t get “the talk” from their parents. They just learned things from friends and tv shows.  I remember getting the talk and wanting to die inside. It made me feel uncomfortable talking about these things with my parents. But the way they told me was in such a way that it was sacred, and they taught me that it was something to only be done between marriage. I think a great thing to do is to talk about these things more often than just once, talk about these things when your kids are young. Make it age appropriate, then as they get older you can explain more to them. This will help when the time comes that they have questions they won’t feel awkward asking you guys questions. You should want your kids to ask you questions instead of them going to the internet or friends. When they go to those they will learn the wrong things about sex. I think that it is very important that teenagers know that sex is sacred, and you only do it with your spouse. 

I think it is kind of crazy to think that one of the commandments that God gave us was to not commit adultery but adultery happens so much these days. People are having affairs left and right. Something that I have never really thought about was having and emotional affair. An emotional affair is when you go to someone other than your spouse with information that you should be telling your spouse not your good friend. Your spouse should be there for you and you should be there for your spouse. Marriage is not always a piece of pie it is something you two have to work on. You need to talk through your problems together before you go to anyone else. I have seen lack of communication ruin relationships. Instead of talking to each other they would talk to their close friends and it gets really hectic. Communication is key to a relationship.

Another thing that I think is very important is touch. Never ever stop holding hands or kissing. My parents are a very good example of this they hold hands in the car they hold hands walking through the stores, when my dad goes off to work he kisses my mom goodbye. I have seen some couples stop being all lovey dovey once they get married and then their relationship does not go as well as it would if they would let each other know that they love each other. I think it is also really important to eat as much meals together as a family as possible. That is where you catch up on every one’s days. Another thing is to keep going on dates. Even when you have kids, go on dates it. You need to give attention to your spouse. Sometimes it can be hard with a house full of kids, but you need to remember give attention to your spouse. I have seen this in my life.  One of my friend’s mom gave all her attention to her kids so much that her spouse was feeling left out and then he turned to his coworker at work who gave him attention. My friend’s parents ended up getting a divorce. You need to remember the small and simple things good bye kisses and eating meals together.
