The Changing Face of Marriage

I have had a very good experience with the domestic church.  At home my parents have taught me the importance of patience, unconditional love, and acceptance. They have demonstrated these values in their relationship with each other as well as my siblings and me. My mom has always stressed the importance of having faith and a relationship with God. Many tv shows are normalizing what was previously thought of as scandalous. Shows have all kinds of different marriages where gender, age, and race do not matter. I think it is a positive message to send that everyone should be accepted. Marriage should be focused on the love shared between two people. Some negative things in the media are focusing on the glitz and glam of the actual wedding instead of the marriage. It is also normalizing divorce. Because of this I think more people go into marriage with out fully thinking it through leading to divorce. I am very glad to hear that people with a college education are less likely to get divorced because I am fortunate enough to go to college next year. There I will hopefully discover myself and further develop my values. Doing this will eventually help me develop a domestic church one day.
