Hi! This week was the second week of school. In my Family Relations class, we learned about the different trends that are shown throughout topics of marriage and family. Unfortunately, many of the trends seem to be for the worse. The divorce rates are getting higher along with the amount of people living alone. The rate of cohabitation is also increasing along with the rate of premarital sex. Many of these trends seem to correlate with each other.
We were also given the chance to do our own research. We chose our own topics and we chose the websites that we wished to use. I chose to research the effects that a same-sex marriage has on the children involved. Unfortunately, all I received was lots of biased information and skewed results.
At the beginning of this week, we read our text book, Marriage and Family by Robert and Jeanette Lauer. It debunked certain myths on the topics of marriage and family life, such as the myth that marriage is all about love. One important tip that I learned this week is that the more alike you are with your spouse, the better chances there are of having a lasting and satisfying relationship. Perfect!
I will leave you all with this and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
"A happy marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion."
