The Fundamental Unit of Society

  Family has been a prominent topic that has been researched for many years. Just recently, however, the research on family has been increasing in importance more than it ever has before. A lot has changed within the last few years, more than it ever has. Some of these changes has included higher divorce rates, lower fertility rates, a higher average age for getting married, and changing laws on marriage. It is important that we affirm the importance of family. Family is, and always has been, “the fundamental unit of society” (the first presidency and council of the twelve apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Now, we are beginning to see evidence that the family dynamics are changing all throughout the world. For example, the fertility rate in families has decreased to an average of 1.8 children per family. Not very many years ago it was common for people to have 6, 7, 8, or more children in their family.

Perception, Joy, & Positive Truths

This week, something was brought up that really grabbed my attention. I wanted to focus on it in my blog today, because it meant a lot to me, and I believe it will make a difference for you too. Every one of us experiences stress or adversity in our lives. We can expect that at some point in our lives, if something super stressful hasn’t already occurred, it most definitely will. Growing up, one of the things I often struggled with was having low self-esteem. I was consistently worried about what other people thought about me.
