Same-sex Attraction

I've done some studying on same-sex attraction recently trying to understand more about why it happens and what the effects are. I have close family that are gay and I have never fully understood much about it until I did this research. My mind has been opened significantly and I hope that I can share some of his enlightenment with you. I would first like to address the causes of same-sex attraction and then talk about the fluidity of sexual orientation. There are many different explanations that I had heard throughout my life as to why some people are gay, but the most common explanation is that they were just born that way. It's just some kind of difference in genetics. This is the view that, I believe, has been adopted my the majority of the world today. The reasons this explanation may have surfaced could be because there are so many differences between gay individuals and their stories that it's difficult to say that the attraction was learned in life. This is understa...

What makes a strong marriage?

I’ve recently come across some new information about marriage. The things that I noted were what causes divorce, generally, and what makes up a strong marriage that lasts. Obviously we all want a marriage that lasts and so I hope to be able to shed some light on how that's possible. First I’d like to talk about the reasons for divorce. You can attribute divorce to a decrease in marital satisfaction throughout the course of a marriage, but what causes this drop in marital satisfaction in divorced couples?

After looking into the reasons for dissatisfaction, I realized it makes a lot of sense. In many marriages, when the first kid comes around, the parents tend to...

Communication

Today I’d like to talk about a topic that, as I’ve learned more about it, I realize is a huge factor in determining the quality of a relationship. That factor is communication. I’m sure you’ve all heard about and seen examples of poor communication in the relationships around you and you’ve probably experienced it in your own relationships as well. Poor communication is extremely common and extremely damaging. As I studied what makes for good communication I realized that it's another example of a “supernatural” relationship. This is a topic I covered back in September, but it basically means a relationship where you put effort in that is far beyond your natural tendencies. The sad truth is our natural tendencies as humans are kinda the worst and they generally don’t benefit us or anyone around us.  This is a concept that I learned early in my life because of my religious beliefs. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in my church, we believe in scrip...
