The Changing Face of Marriage

I think that my parents have heavily incorporated the idea of the 'domestic church' into our family.  My brother and I have always been told to thank God for what for what we have been blessed with, ask him for help or guidance during stressful or overwhelming times, and to life out the Church's teachings through our ability to do the right thing.  My family goes to church every weekend whether it's on Sunday morning or Saturday night because of a sporting event or special activity.  Watching the clip of "He's Just Not That Into You," has provided me with an insight with the 'changing face of marriage."  I think I agree with Jennifer Aniston's character that marriage is an important step to complete every committed relationship.  I cohabitation is a con to the new concepts of marriage, because as I have learned in VHS and Psychology, cohabitation is not a true commitment, because nothing is forcing those two people to stay and work things out once things get tough.  My parents have had fights, but they always work things out, because they made that commitment over 25 years ago to stay together.  On the other hand, I think one of the pros to the new face of marriage is the acceptance of same-sex marriage that is slowly spreading across the country.  I think the fact that college graduates with degrees are less likely to get a divorce is something that everyone should take notice of.  Having a college degree means that an individual has some level of intelligence and should therefore know when to commit to a relationship if that person is the right person.  When I grow up and get married, I definitely want to form the concept a 'domestic church' in my household.  My parents raised me with Christian values, taught me how to be a genuine person, and what it means to have faith.  I want to do the same with my children.
