Family Relations 160

  People who entertain the thoughts of divorce are also entertaining untrue thoughts. Well if you did not guess it, I will just tell ya. Today we are talking about divorce and remarriages. Both of which can get a little sticky and whether or not we know it or recognizes it one or both have affected ether us or one of our friends. As always we get deep into our topics and at the same time we look at the numbers. So please keep an open mind and let it all seek in. Well lets dive! Numbers first though. One in specific is 70 percent. Why that one? Well 70% of people who get divorces end up regretting it within two years. 70% of men who get divorced end up remarried within those same two years. The last statistic is that 70% of the couples who said that they were very dissatisfied in their marriage but stuck it out reported five years later that they were now satisficed or very satisfied.

That being that it is part of an adult's responsibility to find the cause behind a child's behaviors and it is our responsibility to teach, and learn if we haven't yet, how to respond. Recently I was able to learn about an equation th...

  You all probably have heard me say it before but my dad means the world to me. So I would like to spend today talking about the importance of dads, fathers, papa, or whatever your all call that amazing male role model in your life! I personally have had bad days and good days, and I think many if not all of you are in the same or similar boat, but it never mattered because I knew and still know that my dad would and will be there for me, to tell me I was and am strong enough to make it though whatever it was or is. I hope to be able to show my passion and belief that having a present and interactive father can and does make a very large and positive impact on a child's life. Something that I really value from my childhood was my time with my dad. The majority of our time spent together was always him, my siblings, and I working side by side and very little talking. It was hard work usually washing calves or fixing fence that the elk blew through but I was able to watch him do som...
