- Hey guys, so this week we talked about sex & intimacy. I'm not gonna talk too much about that thought, because the people who read this, know how sex works. One thing that I found very helpful from class, is how to educate your children about sex. I will be doing this one day so I payed close attention to what was discussed. On lds.org, there is a parent's guide and throughout this guide there are different sections and chapters discussing the role of teaching your children about intimacy. I found it super interesting that there is a section for teaching infants and toddlers about this! At this age, children are discovering their bodies and gender roles. As parents, you can teach your children simply about modesty and how we should keep our private parts covered and only let our future husband/wife see them after we're married. This guide goes on and gives advice on what to talk about at which age and this can be found on this link https://www.lds.org/manual/a-parents-guide?lang=eng

We also discussed marriage infidelity and how a couple can prevent this. A major factor in preventing this is having boundaries. There has to be boundaries with your opposite gender friends after you're married. You shouldn't spend one one time with that friend and you have to be cautious of how much time and where you are meeting this friend. One on one time can lead to strong emotional connections/ attachments and these can be deadly to your marriage. Your spouse will possibly feel jealousy, comparison, and the two of you could become very distant. My teacher mentioned to be very cautious of social media and who you are still friends with after you're married. Any friends of the opposite sex should be approached with your spouse or not at all.

Thanks for reading, I'm no expert, just sharing what I've learned.
