Marital Intimacy & Fertility

 Here is the the video I posted on YouTube regarding my thoughts of Martial Intimacy & Fertility. There is this amazing book that I feel everyone should read because it has so many helpful hints and just great information about marriage and families. I have mentioned it before but it is called, Successful Marriages and Families: Proclamation Principles and Research Perspectives Edited by Alan J. Hawkins, David C. Dollahite, and Thomas W. Draper. When I read chapter 5 I had to make a post about my feelings. It was just too good! One thing that stuck out to me was on page 52 - it gives a list of "attitudes that promote positive marital sexuality..." the ones that stuck out to me the most were, "1. Sexual interaction is a healthy component of marriage that need not be a source of negative feelings or guilt." And "5. Couples should strive to create a "we" relationship , where both partners' sharing and pleasure is important as opposed to one person individually focused on what she or he will get out of the experience." McCarthy and McCarthy (2003). Both partners are equally important, and both partners deserve to feel pleasure all while growing closer to our spouse.

For those who are not married and want to be, your time will come, I will pray for you. For those who are struggling to get pregnant, I will pray for you. I cannot imagine the things you are experiencing... but our Father in Heaven loves you and is AWARE of you.

Thank you for watching! I hope it made sense. I will try to do more videos soon!

I am so grateful that we can ask our Father in Heaven for help with things that we are struggling with because I KNOW He will help us! 💗💙💚💛💜   Here  is the link for my new video (above)! Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Thanks for watching! Here  is a link for an amazing talk given by James E. Faust. I love this talk because he quoted, " Being a father or a mother is not only a great challenge, it is a divine calling." I feel so much power and love hearing this. We did not just get a child in the mail from a stranger... we have been given a divine calling from a loving Heavenly Father to grow close to each other as a couple, and to bear children. It most definitely is a challenge being a parent sometimes but I am grateful it is one of my...
