Fertility Patterns

It is God's commandment to multiply and replenish the earth. Yet there are so many people who struggle to have families and suffer from infertility and perinatal loss. Infertility and perinatal loss is one of those things that people don’t really talk about. These are things that many people experience yet, no one knows people are going through it. In the article titled "Coping with Grief in Perinatal Loss" it says, 
“Perinatal death is tragic, but there are many ways of coping. There is no one method that is perfect for everyone. Your bereavement process can be as unique as you are. We hope that you will be able to find a source of comfort and healing that works best for you, and that someday you will be able to face the future with peace and hope.”
I have experienced this in my own life. I recently had a miscarriage and it was really hard for me and my husband. We felt discourage and somewhat lost. I think the one thing that helped me to overcome this was knowing that everything happens for a reason and to trust in the Lord’s timing. I have found a lot of peace and comfort knowing I am not alone in this. Another thing that has been very helpful is knowing that there are resources out there. It wasn’t until I had a miscarriage that I realized how common it is. Talking with other women who have experienced the same thing has really helped me heal and cope with this.

Something I have really been thinking about this week has been what marriage means to me. Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I know that marriage is between a man and a woman. The Family: A Proclamation to the World says, " THE FAMILY  is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity." With the redefining o f marriage it can be hard to stand on the side where marriage should remain between a man and a woman. Although I love those that choose to live differently than I believe I will not accept and see it the same way that they see it. I personally have several LDS friends who have come out and shared with the world that they are gay. They struggle with this, but they still testify and know that marriage is between a man and a woman.  I am so blessed to have

Parenting with love

Coercion is defined as " the practice of persuading someone to do something by using force or threats". Parents sometimes use coercion as a method of parenting.  Coercion is compelling others to act or choose in a certain way. Coercive parenting is a very tempting way to raise and treat children. Parents often think that it creates expediency and efficiency… they get what they wanted immediately… it must have worked. It gives parents the sense that their child is obeying them, so they must be doing the right thing because their child is complying with them. But, I can tell you right now that this is only an image and is actually not working at all. Coercion creates only short term compliance. In return the child will retaliate and want to leave the environment, or they will counter coercion by doing the things they know they are not supposed to be doing to get even. I think the best way for parents to get past the temptation to coerce children is by understanding t
