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!

Early Life

I grew up in Arizona 🌵 with one sister, and lots of cousins! I honestly do not remember much as a child (I literally have the worst memory) but I know childhood was great. My nickname was "Taz" growing up because I was a very active child. My mom found me on top of the refrigerator one time! HAHA Oops, sorry mom! 😜 I am noticing my daughter is the same way (From what my family has told me)! She is very active and loves to climb on furniture, jump off the couch and have a good ole' time! My parents raised me and my sister in the LDS church and I will be forever grateful for that. I loved primary and Young Women's and always had the best leaders that led by example. Since I was a young child, all I wanted was to get MARRIED in the temple and have babies! I planned to be married right out of high school... I would have children right away, and life would be peachy! These days it seems as though people take the term marriage very lightly. There are so...

My Eternal Family

I grew up a member of the LDS Church and have always been taught that "families can be eternal". However, I never really knew the impact that would have on my life until I went through the temple for the first time. There are words that are promised to us if we obey the commandments that we are taught in the temple, as well as the things we are taught in church weekly. We need to pay attention to those things and make positive changes in our lives that will get us closer to eternal life. Life is hard and trials come upon us that can make things difficult within families. I know it has happened to us multiple times, and I feel we came out stronger because of those things. If we can always keep our eyes on "eternal life" and do the right things, always asking for repentance along the way, we will be greatly blessed. More importantly we will hopefully be able to live with our families in the Celestial Kingdom for eternity. In the book, Successful Marriages an...
