Changing Face of Marriage

The domestic church for me has been my parents constantly reinforcing the values of a good Catholic by doing what they preach. I will always follow the example of my parents and follow their teachings, both of which coincide with the Christian morals they wished to instill in myself. Teaching me about God outside of school in every day things such as kind strangers, nature, new life and death, and my friends has helped me see Jesus and God in the little things in life. Their domestic church has made me an incredibly better person than if I did not have them, I now know that God is always watching. Some pros of the changing family structure/marriage composition is the new available opportunities to marry for homosexual couples in some states, and the new acceptance of these marriages by the majority of Americans. Some cons of the changing structure of family/marriage is that more divorces are occurring, and the bond of marriage is not kept sacred by infidelity and affairs. I was very happy to learn about the low divorce rate of college-educated peoples mainly because there are some very alarming divorce rates as years pass, and I would not like to get divorced. I do feel compelled to establish a domestic church in my household one day because I think it's important to teach your children to be good people in all sectors of their life, especially giving them a role model such as yourself or Jesus. I will make sure to follow the examples of my parents and practice what I preach to my susceptible children.
