A Black LDS Guy Yapping About Families

  Okay, guys and gals, welcome back to another episode of your favorite black guy yapping about your favorite topic! In today's yapping session, the topic is going to be about a spectacular byproduct of what comes from a happy marriage: babies! I don't know about you guys, but I love babies; there's something about them that brings so much joy into people's lives. For Latter-day Saints, it's because we believe that when a baby is born, one of God's precious children has begun his or her journey in this world. This is why child-bearing is really important to us, and it's super important to me! With that being said, it is very evident the impact that child-bearing has on a married couple, and it's often not a good one. Couples go through different phases of relationship satisfaction. Before the wedding and a small bit after, couples overall experience the highest amount of happiness and satisfaction in their relationship. The excitement for a ...

  The ideal image representing the dating culture Dating. Oh boy, here we go. Today, we're talking about something bittersweet, something that a lot of people love and hate at the same time: dating. For most of the posts I've cooked up so far, we've been mainly talking about marriages and families, specifically.

The statistics show a concerning number of young adults reporting never dating at all! As a guy, I couldn't help but also notice that the statistics shown among young guys show that there is a huge drop in self-confidence when it comes to d...

  Genders. Okay, let's stop there and talk for a minute. Gender is a pretty heated topic in society right now, and I think you know why. Society as a whole is currently having this huge debate as to what the definition of gender is. What makes someone a guy? What makes someone a girl? Can a person be whatever gender they chose to be? For me, personally, this is a topic that I am passionate about. In fact, I'm equally passionate about this topic as I am about families, because this has a direct tie to what makes up a family. Today, I'm going to talk about why gender matters, why male and females are different from each other, and why it matters in terms of the family. I also understand that this is a sensitive topic for some, so I will try to handle this as carefully as I can. Let's start this conversation off by talking about what makes men and women so different, yet so important in a family setting. There is a document in our church that goes over what we...
