An Introduction

My name is Mallory Hart.

I am currently a Sophomore at Brigham Young University in Provo. I am majoring in the School of Family Life with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Studies.

My qualifications are low, but my expectations are high. With this blog I hope to highlight the beautiful nature of the family. I hope to bring to light the truths about marriage and family life. In a world where Hollywood as well as other forms of media are sending skewed messages about the family, truths are lost. So many people, myself included, look to the media as a comparison of what family life should be. When they do not see in their own families what they see in the media they become discouraged and feel a sense of failure. Well failure is not an option, not in family life, not if you want to make it to the highest degree of the celestial kingdom and truly live happily ever after. Do not be discouraged for success is an option. Happiness can be achieved. Happily Ever After is quite a reality. I hope through this blog to focus on those things that will help us as families to reach our goals, find joy, build relationships, and remember the eternal nature of the family we are a part of.

The format of this blog will go a little something like this (with room for flexibility of course).

Sunday-I will choose a topic, or will have someone help me to choose a topic for the week. I will give personal opinions about the topic. I will try my best to use the knowledge I have gained in my area of study as well as personal experiences to discuss this topic with as much truth as I can muster.

Tuesday-I will give an example in real life of the topic of choice. It could be something I observe or a story I hear from someone else. This way we can see a truth in action.

Thursday-I will gain a second insight. This way you know I am not crazy. I believe in the power of a second witness. If for some reason no one on this planet agrees or adds anything to what I said on sunday I will humbly take back what was posted and set the record straight.

Marriages and families are probably one of the most important units in society, in communities, in personal lives. Let us continue to build our relationships with our siblings, spouses, cousins, grandparents, parents, everyone who is family. I hope this blog will inspire us to become better siblings, spouses, cousins, grandparents, parents, ect.
