Lemme introduce myself...

September 16, 2021

Hey team! My name is Megan Flake and I am starting this blog for my FAML 160 class. I'm excited to get this blog going and to share some of the principles I am learning about! I've thought about doing a blog in the past but have always thought that I would run out of things to talk about. This class is a perfect opportunity to see if this is something I really enjoy! A little about me. I'm eighteen years old and attending my first semester of school. I'm a fairly social person but definitely have my moments where I would rather be at home watching a movie. I'm hoping this transition to college life is a smooth one and I get the hang of it fairly quickly. I have grown up in Washington state my whole life, in the Puget Sound, on an island about an hour north of Seattle. I love all things outdoors, specifically being on the water or in the mountains! I am the sixth of seven kids and have many nieces and nephews, who I ADORE! I'm sure there is more to say about myself but I'll keep that to myself so I have something to say next time. 'Till next time!

Finances and Fatherhood

This week is thanksgiving, so we have a break the second half of this week, so we only had one day to condense all the information for fatherhood and finances. So I'll just tell you the important stuff. Finances are not something that are supposed to be put on one person's shoulders in the relationship. Both should be a part of making decisions on where money should go and how much to save. This is important to recognize because often in the church we hear that the men are to provide and the women are supposed to stay at home with the kids and be the nurturer. This is where it's important to remember that both are equal partners in everything they do. In situations where the man is the sole provider for a family, some might look at it and say that the wife doesn't do anything and just spends the money.

Getting Engaged

       This last week we talked about dating so this week it would make sense we talk about engagement and 'courting' as we called it in this class. This was an interesting topic because many of the students in the discussion have not been married and aren't engaged. We learned some interesting statistic on how successful marriages usually happen. One of them that I thought was oddly specific was talking about how long you should date before getting engaged. It says that those who date 1-2 years have more successful marriages than those who both date for under a year and those who date for more than two years. This seemed a little weird to me because it seems like the longer you date someone the more you get to know them. The research shows that people often get too comfortable in the relationship status of 'dating' that the transition to marriage is much harder, and many times doesn't work out.      This part of the discussion led right into question of, 'H
