FHS 2400
Marriage and Family Experience class
Here are a few essays I wrote for my FHS 2400 Class. I loved researching and finding out new information for these essays. I have found that the more I write about the topics, the more I notice how real some of the statics and different points of view are. This has taught me more about looking at things from a different point of view and opening up myself to new ideas. Even though I know what I believe in, I think it is good to gain a wider knowledge of what others think. Hope that you enjoy reading ideas from my perspective.

My Reflections on What is a Family
This is one of the first essays I wrote for this class and I really enjoyed it. For this assignment, I asked my sister, mom, and brother what the definition of family was. Each person said slightly different things but all had the same general outlook on family life. I compared what they said to the definition that I learned about in FHS and the definition of what I think a family is. It was fun for me to see what others thought a family ment.
Out of all of the definitions, I enjoyed my younger brother's the most. I thought it was so cute to hear how he interpreted things my family does into the definition for all families. This essay made me realize how important families are in our lives. Families work together as a team and love each other no matter what! Families are very special to me and I'm so grateful for all my family does.

My Reflections on Utah Marriages
For this assignment I looked up the Utah Marriage Commissions website and wrote about what I saw and learned there. The website is stongermarriage.org. I believe that this website can help anyone who is dating, married, divorced, or has questions about any of these topics. When I was looking through all the pages I was really impressed with what I saw. One this site there is so much information and advice for people at different stages and circumstances in their life. If a couple needs some help, they can look at this website and learn about classes or counseling they can take to help them out. I believe that basically any marriage can work out if both partners take the steps needed to save their marriage. The Utah Marriage Commission site is very useful for couples in challenging situations.
Under the Dating page, you can learn tips, get general information, learn about marriage, learn about dating traps, and learn about relationship skill classes you can take. The dating page applied to me more than the other pages so I enjoyed taking the time to see what it said on the subject. I know that in this generation, we have so much technology available to us and we can use it to our advantage when we use the internet to look up how to make marriages last.
