Dating

 

Hello readers! I hope you guys had a great a week and that y’all are doing well.

During this week’s class we talked about dating! I think that this topic fit pretty well since valentine’s days is right around the corner. Which is the week when everyone is going to the stores to buy flowers, chocolates, gifts, and coming up with the perfect date ideas. Also, this the time where guys become romantic machines!! On a more serious note… dating is an important aspect of life. Through dating we are able to find our other half, the person we choose to spend the rest of our lives with. To me personally, dating is a very important thing that is sadly losing it meaning. Back in the day a date was a planned activity where the people are taken care of and paid for. Typically, the man plans the activity, takes care of the girl (treats her well), and pays for the activity. Now, it feels like dating is more a time where people hang out and “waste” time together. When I say waste, I do not mean that they waste their but rather they spend it doing meaningless things together such as lounging around and watching shows or movies. However, there is nothing wrong with watching movies but why not do it a manner where you a plan a date to the movie theater and have a nice snack afterwards. The point that I am getting at is that dating should be the time where the couple partakes of various activities as they are getting to know each other better.

It has been said that the way the relationship was in the dating stage the habits they formed will transfer over into their marriage life. For example, if the couple was very good at going out on dates and doing activities in their dating stage. That couple is more likely to go out on dates and try new experiences In their marriage than a couple who were used to only hanging out and not go out on a lot of dates. In my opinion, I agree with that. I think the statement holds a lot of value; I have noticed this in my relationship. Even though I am not married, I have been with my girlfriend for almost 3 years. In the early stages of our relationship, we did no go out very often because her parents were somewhat strict. So, we got in the habit of hanging out at each other’s house with the intention of spending time together. That habit has carried over; now that we are in college, we have of the freedom in the world, but we still choose to stay in each other’s apartment and watch movies or have game nights. However, I have been trying to modify our habits and push more of the habit of going out and do more activities. I have been trying to do this so that our relationship does not become stale and so that our marriage is fun and exciting.

If any of you are in a long-term relationship or still going out on dates to find the right person I would advice to all of you to always try your best on keeping things fun and exciting. I would not want for any of you to be in a relationship where it is not fun, and it is just a habit of comfort. Always try to make the routine things fun and to always look out for the other person! Make sure that they are satisfied with the state of the relationship.

Parenting

  Welcome back fellas! This week we talked about parenting and tips as to how become a better parent. This lesson meant a lot to because one of my top goals for when I have a family is that I want to be a good parent. I want to raise my kids in a great environment as well as teach them the good that there is to learn about life. In my class we learned about active parenting. What is active parenting? Active parenting is having both parents and a parent take a proactive approach to raising their children. Though the definition is not quite clear examples will help define active parenting. From what I have a great example of active parenting is having the parents be part of their child development. So how do we do this? First, I want to put this out there; active parenting is far more common than what you might be thinking. Most parents are in fact being an “active parent”. Active parenting means that we are there with our kids helping them grow from their mistakes and teaching...
