November 18-22
Communication is an essential part to a family, it is needed to have a healthy marriage and if not used well it can lead to misunderstandings. There are many different types of communication, facial expressions, symbols, words or a persons actions. Therefore, communication is used all the time, everyday. Since there are many different types of communication, people need feedback of what the person is trying to tell them because they might not always understand what they are saying. If a person doesn't understand what someone is trying to communicate with them then it can lead to the individual feeling offended or lost. One style of communication that is very unhealthy is using sarcasm. Sarcasm is a very corrupt way of using communication because it exaggerates what your trying to tell someone, which also leads to others feeling offended by it. Sometimes people are sarcastic by accident and end up feeling bad for themselves because their intentions aren't to make others feel offended. Communication needs to be used in a careful and wise way because it is an essential part of what makes up a family.

Good post. I have seen first hand the negative affects of sarcasm and how truly hurtful it can be. As the majority of individuals have at one time or another been hurt by sarcasm, why do you believe it is so widely used? Elder M. Russell Ballard has said, "Nothing is more important to the relationship between family members than open, honest communication." How can this quote benefit families who constantly use sarcasm?
