Sex is a sacred experience. It is one of those topics that is talked about poorly or nobody talks about it at all. Women generally take a long time to get aroused than men. Because males have a propensity to be focused on one thing at a time, they get aroused and reach a climax quickly. Women tend to worry about their surroundings and other things at the same time when having sexual intimacy. That’s why they might take a longer time to focus and be fixated on that. These differences can cause problems in relationships. When women are feeling safe, warm, and close it is very easy for them to be sexually connected. For men it is the other way round the reason they want to have sex is so they can feel safe, warm, and close to their spouses. Especially with reaching a climax, there are big bursts of dopamine, adrenalin, serotonin, and oxytocin (feeling of bonding or attachment). Women have that oxytocin and men do not. Because of that women might feel more attached and men might walk away....

 Most people plan for weddings and forget to plan for their marriage. Instead, we should be intentional in planning for our marriage instead of being casual. There is less authenticity when men propose nowadays. A study has shown that, when a woman has a beautiful story, she had when she got married when things get tough, she would most likely stay but when things go wrong, and she did not have a beautiful story she is most likely to slide off the relationship. Getting engaged should be sacred, intimate, a way of establishing clear boundaries. These boundaries should be made by the two of you, and you two only. When married keep out boundaries from family and friends. Instead, engagements are becoming less personal and more social. Most weddings parents’ chip in all the money and they get to set boundaries for you because they had a part to play in your marriage. If you start complaining about your marriage to others it is a betrayal of your marriage, talk to each other and trust i...

This week I want to touch on a few points of how we can prepare for marriage and what can we optimize when preparing for one. I will discuss the trends that people do or follow and hopefully, at the end of the reading, you can determine what you can do. A study has shown that in the olden days' people would marry someone they have access to and are closer to. That has changed drastically though and with electronic technology advancing, it is now quite different. People would marry someone that lives closer to them because of these reasons; commonalities, probably they belonged to the same culture, they had shared expectations, familiar schools, friends, and neighbors that both know that would eventually support the relationship, and probably they also had shared interests (music, same activities). Nowadays we probably marry someone because probably we share the same political opinions, probably we agree on what is important in spending money on. We marry someone judging by their vi...

  Typical Behaviors and Perspectives as they relate to Family Structure This week I watched a few videos on surveys done on young children and even some mammals to investigate the differences between males and females. These videos were very interesting to watch and learn from. I will share with you what I learned from those videos coupled with what I learned in class. From the videos, some behaviors were typical for males and some typical for females. I will describe these behaviors below. Female typical --- Females when they are young tend to be more nurturing in terms of the way they play with the toys, they interact with others and their toys. Girls are more cooperative in their plays. Girls develop communication skills at an earlier age. They are more emotionally expressive and sensitive to the emotions of others as well. They are relationship-oriented, meaning they make their decisions based on the relationships they have. Girls have a relative orientation to the sense of...
