One of the things in this life that I feel most passionately about is the importance of the family. I love my family with all my heart, they are some of the most amazing people you will ever meet. I greatly look forward to the time in my life when I will have my own family. I know that the family unit is ordained of God.
Today in my Family Relations class we discussed some of the trends that are occurring in the world today concerning the family. One of the topics we discussed was divorce. I took a marriage class last semester that really changed the way that I view divorce. I used to think, as most people do, that divorce is an unfortunate but necessary "out" when infidelity or other difficult problems occur in marriage. I feel very differently now, and I take temple sealings much more seriously. I now feel that they are something that should never be broken. I learned in my class that most of the time the answer is repentance rather than divorce. When I get married one day I intend to have a marriage where divorce is not even an option, not in our vocabulary.
I am so grateful to belong to a church where the family unit so so valued. I love the family and I love my family.
