So my last post was about dating; now we are going to talk about marriage! Now, I know that a lot of you aren't even thinking about marriage at this point and that's a good thing. I think that there is this common phenomenon that once you get married everything is going to be all happy dandy for the rest of forever. Oh my oh my that is not true. I mean, yes marriage is amazing and I strongly encourage everyone to marry if they can. Just remember that marriage is not something you can just give up or get out of.
Some days are going to be a lot harder than others. You just need to remember that when you married them you promised to go through all the good and bad times together. This is going to be a shorter blog because I really feel like this is something that is common sense. If you love someone enough to marry them and promise your life to them, then you have to love them through that life you've promised.

Oh boy oh boy do I have things to say about this. Dating is some kind of crazy game that people like to call "falling in love." I have found that as I have dated around recently I have fallen more in love with who I am than with anyone. And you know what, that is totally okay! There are things in this world that people agree with and others don't; I don't think you need a significant other in order to be happy or in love. Be in love with your life, your adventures, the quirky things about you. THAT is true love.
Kids, I hope you find someone that is right for you. I know that I haven't, and that's okay! I just want to say that it doesn't matter if you're 18 or 65, you should wait for that one person that makes your heart skip a beat every time you see them walk through a door. Now, I am not one of those LDS people that believe in young marriage. I think that you should wait until you're a little more mature and know what you are getting yourself into. I can agree that it is right for some people, but for most I think you should wait. In a world where we have people pushing us to do things we don't want to do, we should make sure that we are ready for that commitment. I know that this is kind of a weird topic, and there will be a lot more of these! This is just something I am particularly passionate about. Alright guys, I'm going to get a little serious over here for a minute. This week in class the topic of gays and lesbians came up. I know I have said this in some of my other posts but I just want to say it again; I am not here to offend anyone. I am here to simply put my opinion out there and if you don't like it than I am not offended if you click the little Facebook tab up there on your browser to exit off my site.
All of this "why am I gay" and "I was just born this way" stuff is getting a little ridiculous to me. It has become apparent that it is just kind of the new fad to be gay. I agree, that there are some people that truly do struggle with being attracted to the same sex, but it is not a natural tendency that we should have. I know that it is because of some peoples upbringings that has caused them to feel they are that way, but there is always time and room to change. As I have said before, I am LDS. I grew up in California where I got a lot of people bulling because because I apparently hated gay people (which has never been and never will be the case). I think that we should let gay people get married. I would never take away anyone's agency, and I would expect them to never take away mine as well. Over the years though, they have fought to get married in our sacred temples that we have built on this earth. Now THAT is where we should draw the line. I do not believe in mixing the government and religion. I will never let someone defile and go against my beliefs in the holy buildings that we call our temples. So please, stop saying "mormons hate gays." We don't! We love anyone and everyone. We just simply want to keep our holy temples holy. |
