Family Relations

Higher education is very important in today's world. Everyone it always talking about getting a college education, but when higher education was a new thing, the purpose was different. In today's world getting a college degree is often pursued because someone wants to make good money and have a nice job. Back in the older days people wanted the understand the universe better. A higher education helped "the universe be opened up to them". Higher education can be anything that helps your education grow. College courses and degrees, educated in the gospel, motherhood, cooking, learning from book clubs, etc. These are all great ways to gain more knowledge on everything in the world. So even if you aren't going to get a college education it is important to still learn new things each day!

We are always communicating. Even if we aren't verbally communicating, we are communicating something non-verbal, like with our eyes or our body language. We also communicate with our tone.

My teacher shared a special experience he had when he was younger, which I won't share, but he brought up good points with this story. His family was going through a tough thing, and they prayed and talked about it together. They had to make a tough decision, and they each talked about what they felt the family should do. I saw this as a great way to communicate your feelings with one another, which I have already mentioned is a great thing for women. He also mentioned how they had outside friends and family that could help them out, so they could focus on the certain decision they had to make.

Men have more grey matter in their brains. This is more of a storage, whereas women has more white matter, which is the connective tissue. This causes an issue of disconnect within the relationship. Men also only focus on one problem at a time. Women focus on numerous problems at a time. This is bad with men, because they only focus on the problem. Until the problem goes away, they just focus on what needs to be fixed. Women however, can focus on problems, but they can think about all the problems at one time. This causes problems in the relationship because men can't talk about the other problems. There becomes a lack of communication because of this, and we all know that women like to talk about their feelings and communicate.
