How can gender play a role in families?

 Welcome to another controversial blog post. Please keep in mind my intent is not to offend anyone. It's simply to share what I have found through some of my studies this week. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments.

There have been multiple studies done about the characteristics of males and females. The majority of these studies were done at a young age and were done by observation. What was found is the majority of girls have characteristics that were more nurturing, cooperative with others, creative, were more aware of multiple things at a time, had communication skills, attentiveness to detail, and an ability to read emotions and nonverbal cues. The majority of boys have characteristics that were more aggressive, competitive, protective, a desire to provide, startled easier, and were good at spatial orientation.

Not every boy and girl exhibited these exact characteristics, but the majority of them had some of these characteristics based on their gender.

I found that these characteristics are important to raising a family. A male with the desire to provide and protect his family will ensure their physical safety and well-being. While a female with nurturing and ability to read emotions and nonverbal cues can ensure their children's emotional well-being. There are multiple correlations that can be made from male and female characteristics and raising a family.


Well that concludes my studies for this week. As always, I invite y'all to study for yourselves what I've just shared.

Active Parenting by Michael Hopkins

 As you may have noticed from the article title this post will be about parenting. I would like to preface this by saying that I am not a parent and my intention is not to tell anyone how to parent. I am simply sharing a way of parenting I found through studying a book by Michael Hopkins. I haven't proven this to be effective in my own life due to the lack of being married and having children. I'm sure there is a place to find the statistical effectiveness of this practice and if you are interested I invite you to look for it. The practice I wish to relay that Michael Hopkins addressed are the importance of needs in children. He listed 6 needs which are; contact, belonging, power, protection, breaks, and challenge. I'll break down what each of these means. Contact: Any sort of contact to let the child know that you know they are there. One example of this is physical contact. This contact should be given freely to children. They shouldn't have to earn contact from a par

What kind of relationships outside of the marriage should there be? and What can lead to adultery/cheating?

 This post will be a short one, but I believe this is a significant one. When it comes to marriage there's always the question of what kind of relationships can be had outside of the marriage? Is either spouse allowed to have friends outside of the marriage that are of the opposite gender? What can lead to adultery and how can it be avoided? I don't think there's a clear answer on what kind of relationships can be had outside of a marriage. I do think there should be complete transparency in a marriage about friendships. In order to have a successful marriage, it is important to put your partner first before any outside relationships. It is still healthy to have relationships outside of the marriage though. No one wants to get bored of the same person in a marriage. The more burning question is What can lead to adultery? There are many different paths that can lead to adultery, but the common theme within all of them is our thoughts. Every single path begins with our own th

What are the effects of social culture and class on families?

 My studies this week turned towards the effects that social environment can have on families. Have you ever noticed that people tend to mimic who they are around if they are around them for a long time? Well, the same principle applies with families. The longer anyone in a family is exposed to something, the more a part of the family it becomes. For example, if a family rarely spends time together then suddenly the parents decide to spend more time as a family. It will be awkward and feel weird at first. The children may talk about how they want to hang out with their friends or how it's stupid to spend time as a family, but as the family continues to spend more time together it will become more natural. Eventually it will be an integral part of the family to spend time together often.  Another aspect I studied was the effects of social class on the family. Surprisingly there is a large effect on families in different social classes. The families that tend to be closest are the mi
