Welcome to the party.

Hey y'all.

My name is Kirsten Pittman. I am currently a student at BYU-Idaho in Idaho. I have never blogged before so please be patient with me while I learn. A little about me is I am a Marriage and Family Studies student and have been loving it. I will be starting my own family in the next few months and am excited for y'alls thoughts that go along side with the things that I'm blogging about.



Throughout the next few months I'll be posting weekly posts concerning different topics that we discuss in my Family Relations class. At the top of my blog you will see some extra pages attached. They are links to my fellow classmates blogs, go check them out!

Share with me your thoughts throughout this semester with me on the topics we discuss, I want to hear and learn from you as well!

Merging two families.

Marriage. The beginning of merging two different families. Two different lifestyles. Two different habits. I am getting married in exactly 8 weeks and I’m a little terrified for this merge. I am beyond excited to marry my fiancé, I love him dearly. However, we are quite different people. We work together but we’ve never lived together to see all that is there. If any of y’all have any advice, please share! We discussed what makes a wedding and what makes a marriage. When reading and discussing what makes a good wedding, we talked about how society sees it. The bride’s families pays for almost everything with the grooms family for and only certain things. However, those aren’t laws written down, but yet so often we thing it has to be done that way and only that way. Most people think for a good wedding you have to have a big party to correspond with your marriage. The bigger, the better. For me, I’m a little different than your average girl. I have no planned my entire weddi...

Trendy fams.

This week a lot stuck out to me from class but I want to focus on one thing, the trend of families. I've noticed throughout the last 8 years since I was in high school and now also being out of high school things have changed. One big thing is, family. What is a family?  Some people know family to be a mom and dad. Some might think of family as just a mom or just a dad. For me, it's my aunt and uncle's family! We all have a different view of what a family should look like.  For the majority of the world family is a mom, dad, and as the "New Economic Reality: Demographic Winter" shared, most people feel two children.  However, as trends come and go, families are changing.  Families are becoming different. Families can be with two men, two woman, single parents, or not even getting married. As we see families change, I want to encourage you that families are what Heavenly Father has given us. He tells us in the Family Proclamation that marriage ...

Fidelity

This was a good week for class. I truly enjoyed it and I want to start with a claim that if you disagree with me, that’s fine! This is what we discussed in class and how I feel towards the matter. Please don’t think my thoughts are doctrine and that it’s the only way to live, you can choose your own path and live happily ever after. Fidelity. Fidelity means “faithfulness to a person, cause, or belief, demonstrated by continuing loyalty and support.” When one is married, they should be faithful and true to one another in all aspects; emotional, mental, physical, and spiritually. My teacher discussed that even with our hobbies that we should do them with our spouses. He shared a story of how two couples would go running together. Couple 1 are XX and couple 2 are OO. Eventually life happens and wife X had other things come up and quit going running. It was down to the three people running. Eventually husband O in the other couple had other responsibilities so it was just husband...
