Q4 (jay)

This week you read about intimacy, love, dating, and marriage. Think back over your teen years. Who taught you about intimacy, relationships, and sexual health? What was your dating life like? Did you want to get married one day? If so, what did you imagine it would be like? If you are married now, is marriage what you expected? Why or why not? What qualities are important in a mate? In your experience, what makes a healthy relationship? Is intimacy the same as sex? If you could go back, is there anything you'd do differently?   As you think about those questions, write a letter to you as a teen, giving relationship advice. Your letter should address at least 4 of the questions above as well as any other topics you'd like to include. You may share your experiences as well as material from our readings and any other scholarly sources you find helpful.

Q7

· How comfortable are you with the topic of sex?

· Why do you think this is such a tough topic for people to discuss?

· How old were you when you had "the talk" and who did you have it with?

· At what age should one talk to their children about sex? (See  Talking to your child about sex, sexuality, and health: Facts + love = success in your readings to help you think about this question).

You may be wondering, "What does that have to do with becoming parents?" Many couples assume that they will be able to get pregnant. If it doesn't happen right away, they may need to have some difficult conversations. If you aren't comfortable talking about your sexuality, the conversations about infertility won't be any easier!

· Based on what you've learned this week, and your own experiences if they apply, what are some of the other "tough" conversations couples may face when it comes to pregnancy, childbirth, and becoming parents?

· What's the best way for couples to address those tough issues?

2. Explain how you would ensure they have learned the behavior AND why you felt that approach would work best for the particular behavior and setting. ALSO, share what challenges will you encounter to the learning process using your planned approach?
