protect Marriag

I really enjoyed reading, the letter by Katy Faust. I was really impressed about what she wrote to the Justus Kennedy. I was impressed that she was raised with gay parents. But she writes to the Justice Kennedy about the important to protect marriage between a man and a woman. And the importance of a child having a mother and a father.  She stated that the most traumatic event was when her was when her parents divorced. And what she said got me to think about how important it is to have the two parents and the life of the child. She stated" kids wants their mother and father to love them and to love each other" and by reading this quote makes me think oh my goodness I need to try harder in my marriage. Because I want the best for my children.
                I also enjoy reading Elder Russell M Nelson disciple of Jesus Christ defender of marriage. I really like this part what Elder Nelson Said there is great power in a strong partnership. “A true partnership can achieve more than the sum of each action alone." that really meant something to me that it, was engraved in my mind. And I realizing the important of having a partner that you can working together. To up sheave family goals. I also learned the importance of being a disciple, and how we can stand to defend marriage. I was happy to realize that I am trying to protect marriage, by trying to do the best I can in my marriage. Second helping my friends not to give up in her own marriage. I have talked to her and taught her what I have learned in class. Today was a good example she's not a member of the church, but she said that her husband does not drink. She was surprised of what I said. I told her that she should be proud that her husband that does not drink. I told that I hated seeing my parents drink and how it can ruin families, but how my father changed when I was 8th and he became a member of the church and he stopped to drink. And how that bless my family. She did not say anything but she was surprised that I said what I said. 

Times are changing

            Times are changing for the worst. Have you thought of ways to protect your family?

This week in class” family 300”, I read topics and quotes about divorce. One of the topics that stood out the most was by President Kimball stating “Many of the social restraints which in the past have helped to reinforce and shore up the family are dissolving and disappearing. The time will come when only those actively in the family will be able to preserve their families in the midst of the gathering evil around them.”

After reading this assignment, I pondered about the time this quote was published and what it meant at the time up to the present day. Every day the world is moving farther and farther away from gospel principles. As a child I can remember television was much more family friendly, most channels that were popular had show’s that were based on daily family life, for example “Full House”,Blossom”,Family Matters”. I can’t think of a current family based television show today that doesn’t in one way or another promote immorality.  One of the biggest social declines in the recent years is the popularity of divorce. From my memory I can recall back in 1992 watching on the local news station how one needed a strong valid reason and a lot of money to get divorced; now days it’s easier to get divorced, one only needs to fill out some paperwork and pay a small fee.

Some ideas that I have to protect my family involve setting aside time to communicate and listen to the needs of my family. On Sundays after church as a family we avoid turning on any electronics, this allows our family to shut out the world helping us to create a stronger bond through our interactions with each other. As a safety precaution I put a security block on rated R movies. I also am cautious of any movie that target my children. Even children shows may have foul hummer that children shouldn’t be listening to.

There is no greater joy than knowing your family is being protected. Starting today just might save them.
