The changing face of marriage


The ‘domestic church’ is a very realistic concept in place for all people.  Wherever your home may be, that is the initial place of interpersonal associations and the development of love.  My personal  ‘domestic church’ has been a nurturing one.  It has extended from the small realm of my immediate family and connected with cousins, family friends, and other family members.  The changing structure and composition of marriage and family should not effect the how the current primary ‘domestic church’ effects children.  The pros include that if a child is raised in a loving environment where faith and believes are part of a lifestyle, then there should be no change.  However, if the outside population does not accept and evolve with the new culture, more negative feeling may be engrained into the child.

The study completed by the Pew Trust suggesting that those with college degrees are less likely to experience divorce/multiple marriages than those without college degrees is to be expected.  Part of being in college is developing deeper connections with your true self and with others in addition to expanding knowledge.  Those traits will assist in forming a strong relationship with another.  I do feel compelled to establish the ‘domestic church’ in my home because of the positive benefits one can gain through such an environment.
