Hello! I am Liv and I am passionate about families and helping individuals who may have a bad taste of marriage and family in their mouths see the great side of it!
There are so many wrong things that can happen with a marriage. That is why it has scared me so much. I don’t know all the potential reasons why a marriage can fall apart. I wish I did. How am I to know what’s best for my marriage, and what will make a good marriage last? Not knowing all of this, as well as being presented with a lot of imperfect marriages, gave me a view that marriages are hard and not worth all the difficulty. I’ve expressed before that I didn’t believe marriage was for me. Something about me is that I love romantic movies. These movies filled me with excitement! I dreamed of the day that my true love would sweep me off my feet in several acts of excitement and devotion. These character couples are so happy in these stories. Rarely would I see them get married and actually have a life together, but the euphoria of that observed “love” made the marriage and spending the rest of your life with that person not matter. I was convinced that this is how life really ...
This week we talked about family trials and how our responses can either tare our families apart or bring them closer together. Many young people may not want to start families because of the challenges that are ahead of them if they do. Yes, having a family is hard. Caring for kids is hard. Challenges and trials are inevitable. "While it is true that parents once were more likely to report they were less happy than their childless peers, today that is most definitely not true ."..." childless Americans are now more likely to report their lives are lonely, and less likely to report they are meaningful and happy. A clear majority of men and women (nearly 60%) ages 18-55 who do not have kids say they are lonely some, most, or all of the time." There are many resources and data out there proving that having kids actually doesn't make you less happy. It actually makes you happier and less lonely. I think having a family and creating a meaningful marriage can gi...
Let's talk about parenting. It seems to me that kids are very sensitive. You can mold them to be who they will become for the rest of their lives. They are very impressionable. One fear of mine is that I won't be a good parent. I am sure that is a fear for a lot of people. Some might wonder, "how can I raise my kids to be self-reliant?" "What is the most important thing to teach kids to set them up for the future?" "What if I mess up? Then what?" All valid questions, and I know there are many more. My personal question would be, "what are aspects of parenting that I can focus on is that my kids turn out the best they can be?" I want you to know that your parenting will not be perfect. Parenting just isn't ever perfect. We are human and make mistakes. As well as our efforts to teach our kids, they also have the agency to follow your guidance or go their own way. They need to figure out their own lives and experience their own conseque...
