Welcome to my blog!

Lemme introduce myself.


I'm Caleb! New to the whole blogging scene. Truth be told I was asked to make this blog as a part of a course I'm taking in my studies. Even so, The idea seems pretty cool to me! 

I've used social media for a long time now, like a lot of people have. I will admit though that this is very different. Feels a lot more like a journal than a post on Instagram. In that way it feels a lot more personal, ya know?

As mentioned I started this blog for a class that I am taking this semester, called Family Relations. You can probably guess what the class is about. I myself come from a family, as many do. I've got a wonderful father and a wonderful mother, as well as a good number of brothers and sisters. Truth be told, they're a lot of the reason why I'm actually taking this class. I want to understand more about them as my family.


My professor has taken time to explain what the class is about, and I'm pretty sure that I'm very much looking forward to the semester! I come from a background of faith, and as many do, there's a lot of claims as to how living your life a certain way as prescribed by faith bring merits and blessings. Personally, I do believe that the way my faith instructs me to live. But understandably, my opinion isn't too great for convincing others of what I believe.

This class is going to fix that for me. It's hard to argue against truth, and the truth can always be found with enough investigation. Many claims from my faith, such as the importance of families in society, can be proven with proper research. That's what I'm hoping to understand and perhaps help you to understand. 

Everyone comes from different backgrounds. As such, we have many differences. Even so, I believe that there's a universal good. Sometimes, we aren't able to comprehend this universal good right off the bat. I think you'll find though that if you make room for truth, even if you don't think it's enough room, you'll find that the truth finds room in you. So enough rambling. More truth to come!

Week 10 - The Spoken Word

 Hey everyone! Weeks are really starting to fly by now. I've had a lot to do in recent weeks, as the semester I'm in is quickly starting to conclude. Lots of projects that happen to coincide with one another. It gets pretty easy to let things stack up, and I'm struggling against letting these things accumulate. Easier said than done, but for sure I've got my work cut out for me right now. Many people do, so I hope everyone's able to get things done.  Anyways, onto what was discussed this week. We spoke a lot about communication this week. To set the base for what I'm wanting to share, here's what we focused mainly on: 5 Secrets of effective communication (EAR) 1.        Empathy – The Disarming Technique – Find the truth in what the other person is saying. 2.        Empathy – Empathy – Try to see the world through the other person’s perspective. 3.        Empathy – Inquiry – Ask gentle que...

Week 8 - Expectations

Week 8 – Expectations Hey everyone! Gotta be honest, this has been a great week. I’ve had some very productive days this week, and I’ve spent some great times with friends and family. Recent events and developments just have left me pretty happy, got to be honest. Hope you’ve all had a great week as well, and I’m sorry if you haven’t. Now, onto this week’s material. I’ll be honest with you upfront; it deals with sex and intimacy in marriage. If you’re sensitive about that, then feel free to gloss over this week’s post, but I really do hope you’re comfortable talking about that at this point. We talked about physical intimacy for the first half of the week. Class this week did an excellent job informing me of some key differences between men and women pertaining to this subject. For example, men and women are very different in the moment when making love. Men are a lot quicker to go through the motions of arousal, plateau and climax, whereas for women it takes a lot longer to go t...
