Families Under Stress
Families Under Stress

Have you ever experienced stress? Well if you have ever lived a day in your life then it is safe to say that you have felt some sort of stress. My next question is did you enjoy how your stress felt? I feel that you probably thought to yourself "well obviously not". Stress is one of those things in life that we can never escape and that we will never enjoy. At least not anyone that I know will ever enjoy this.
Now as you all know we focus hear on the family unit and how we can strengthen that, so let us get into that.
We all know a family that has gone through a divorce. We all know someone who has gone through a relationship separation. This is something that happens a lot in our world, it will always continue to happen. A great cause for these breakups and these separations is the difficulty in handling the stress associated with their lives and relationships.
We however hear do not seek to put forth the negative. Our goal is not to tear down families, but simply build them up.
You might be thinking how in the world can we transition stress in a relationship to being something positive. Well that is what we are going into now.
Stress in caused and is a result of the lack of truth. Or stress is created from a lack of the entirety of the truth. Our minds seem grab hold of whatever is negative and enlarge that to a magnitude that is far beyond what it should ever be. I want you to think of an experience you have had with this. Where something small had you stressed. It may be something as simple as looking for your keys when they were in your pocket the entire time. Or keeping your credit card in your bag only to not see it in there and freak out to find it in the bag two minuets later. These are real experiences, but they seem in the moment a lot larger then they end up being.
This can heavily relate to the experiences that we have in our relationships. You can relate it in your own ways but I too want to paint a picture of this for you. If one side of the party is doing something just being them, no harm intended. While this is happening the other side of the party is looking too deep into in and is viewing it as "maybe they really don't love me", or "if they really cared, they would not do this to me". This therefore is putting a lot of stress on one of the individuals while the other one is acting like their relationship is completely fine.
We can see from this that stress comes from things misunderstood. This will happen a lot in your relationship.
But these were just to help us understand. This is not what we are focusing on. We are focusing on the truth of things and what they can do for us.
In this situation and for the sake of the relationship it is necessary that the truth is brought to pass. Truth is light. It heals and it conquers. Two things can happen. One, the individual overthinking can slow down in their thoughts. They can take the time focus on only truths. Things that have been uplifting that have truly happened in their relationship. These ideas must be thought in complete reality or focusing on them will be of no benefit. Second, the individual feeling these things should confront the other in a kind manner. Bring to pass the truth of the others mind on the matter. Instead of the continuation of your assuming, talk to the individual. Explain how it has made you feel. There are never feelings that we have that are invalid.
Without the truth in our relationships it allows for stress to sneak in. Stress is a tool, I feel that the adversary uses to break down families. I have seen in my life that the adversary has a great desire to destroy the family unit. That is because he is miserable and wants us to be as such. He too understands that our families will bring us into the presence of our Heavenly Father or God. He does not want that to happen. This means that in our life we must remove him. We must do things in our lives to bring about only the truth.
I know that the family is the greatest thing that we can have in this life. I too know that is being attacked. This only brings a greater urgence to keep them intact. I urge you deeply to remove the false thoughts in your life and replace them with ones that are positive and true. Then will your relationships last.
