Changing Face of Marriage

I have had a really good experience in terms of domestic church. My parents have been taking us to Church each week for my entire life. My parents always taught us values like honesty, selflessness, and acceptance. Overall, my family presented a strong example of the domestic church. Clearly, the changing structure of marriage and family in today's world has several pros and cons. Like we talked about in class, real-life couples and most on tv shows and in movies these days participate in cohabitation. This can have cons, as many people decide to break up and move out when their is conflict instead of working through problems like a married couple living together for the first time would do. However, a pro of the evolution of marriage and family is that more people are being accepted in society. For example, gay people are being allowed to get married in many states, and this brings a whole new version of a family if the couple chooses to have children. I think that these different families can only help future generations to be more accepting of differences. The news about divorce rates and people with college degrees is great! I'm very happy to know that I'll be less likely to experience divorce/multiple marriages should I ever get married. If I end up having a family in the future, I don't think I will feel compelled to establish the domestic church in my home. I don't think compelled is the right word. I probably will establish it because I grew up with it and it helped shape me into a good person. So I don't think I'd be compelled; it would be a choice.
