Some important things about families

 Even though marriages are meant to last and everyone tries to make it forever, sometimes it goes on a way we don't want to. Divorce is very common sadly and can happen to anyone. The idea of this post is for you to consider many other solutions such as therapy or counseling, but for divorce, it could be said that is the last resort. Divorce should be considered only after long periods of trying to make it work, after having sought help, and once it has started to destroy the integrity of a person, such as mental or physical integrity. Because the impact on a family when suffering divorce is great and in many cases is almost impossible to fix. On top of that, if there are marriages that got a divorce and then got remarried so they turn into a blended family, there are some important facts and recommendations for them to consider while trying to make that new marriage work.  Marriage is ordained by God and is a commandment to establish families. The document called "The family:...

 Parenting is something you never know how to do quite right. Is something we start learning when we start having kids, and there are even those that claim they still do not know after they have grandchildren. But is one of the most rewarding things to do. But what is the general definition of parenting? Parenting is the effort to protect and prepare children to survive and thrive in the world they will be living in. With that definition, it seems easier and more concise than it is, and definitely, it sounds less complex than it is. Two big things are important to discuss, one is the importance and some recommendations of how to raise children.  The reasons why parenting is important may be pretty obvious, like creating a good citizen for the country, good workers, and good humans in general. And is true, the only thing is that sometimes we think or forget those things, we might think that someone else can give them or they won't have too many consequences in the real world if...

 We end up having a lot of things from our families. we get a family culture, way of working, behaving, examples of how to deal with difficulties, religious perspectives, and many other things. All of those things you could have either the good or the bad version of it when one becomes a blessing and the other one a burden. Examples of that are not having enough practice or probably even a bad example of how to deal with disagreement. Because that can be very hard when you are trying to build relationships that are meant to last like marriage or even just dealing with friends or siblings. if you do not know how to deal healthily with that, you might end up breaking those bonds that are precious to us and you won't get to see beautiful things in those cases because we do not have good tools. However, many things are good we could get from the good things we learn in our families. One of them that I would like to focus more on today, is hard work. the good thing about hard work is th...

 If you think about it, communication has been the basis of the progress of humanity. Things like writing, poems, history, science, relations between communities, and many other things have been able to exist just because communications and language have been there to make it happen. Nowadays is harder to see the importance of good communication, especially because we tend to take things for granted. Therefore, now we tend to give more relevance to other things and that does not mean communication has stopped, not at all. Is just that now we have become lazy and sometimes even weaponize communication. As much as communications can create, they can also destroy. Examples of that are easier to see in families or even just in relationships like friends and romantic relationships, even in professional relationships. The only difference I think is that in friendly, professional, and early romantic relationships we tend to communicate in a better way to show that we are good people. But ...

 I admire a lot the people that face depressive moments and circumstances with bravery and determination. And I have the same feeling with people that deal with constant anxiety. Life is hard and complicated, and often some people are not given the right tools to adapt and reach "happiness". I also considered that people that go through a hard time are given the wrong tools to mentally survive and thrive through challenges. Some of them are the social belief that depression and anxiety are mental disorders that need to be treated with chemicals and medications and that is a dangerous and sadly broad way to think. But the real questions to make and approach this serious and delicate topic are as follows: is chemical unbalance real and if so can we beat these emotions on our own? how dangerous is it to believe the concept of depression and anxiety a mental disorder?  I think chemical unbalance is real, but the tricky part is that is real in a different way than we have been tol...
