The Changing Face of Marriage

My experience of the ‘domestic church’ has not been typical. My parents split up when I was entering middle school and this was an extremely hard time for me. However, before this time in my life my parents instilled the ideas of love and trust into our minds. They did a great job of growing up my sisters and I in a secure and stable environment, and taught us good values and morals. The changing structure of marriage has some good and bad qualities. One bad quality could be that it is more prevalent for couples to divorce, such as my parents. This is a tough experience for children and families to go through. However one new good changing quality is that people have become more accepting of homosexual couples living together in everyday communities. I do not this this a bad at all and they should feel welcome to live however they wish to. I do believe in the statement that if you have a college degree then you are prone to make smarter choices dealing with marriage, and tend to have a lower divorce rate. I hope to grow a family in a stable environment and wish to establish a ‘domestic church’ in my home one day. I feel as though I am more aware of the harmful effects of divorce and hope I can learn from my parents, and truly find the one person that is right for me.
