In my family, I believe that I have been given a a typical experience of the "domestic church." I was raised Catholic, and the Catholic values and morals have been instilled in me by my parents and other family members. My parents were unified through the sacrament of matrimony and together they have been my first and foremost example of faith. They have taught me how to love, forgive, and trust others. They have shown and guided me how to follow the Catholic teachings.
Based off of real life and TV shows/movies, I have witnessed many pros and cons of the changing structure and composition of marriage and family. I believe that it is great that the media today is portraying many same sex couples, considering that is the reality of modern society. TV shows such as Modern Family are showing same sex couples starting families. I think that this changing structure and composition of marriage is a great thing; everyone should be treated equally regardless of his or her sexual orientation. However, I believe that media today is emphasizing too much on teen pregnancies in shows such as Teen Mom. I think that this factor in society shows the irresponsibility of teenagers in today's society and the children are rarely raised in stable marriages with parents giving the child the proper experience of the "domestic church."
Finally, I think that the study suggesting those with a college degree are less likely to experience divorce and multiple marriages gives hope. For me, it means that I believe I will have a happy and successful marriage, considering I fully intend to obtain my college degree. I also believe that people who value good relationships and marriage will feel the need to complete their college education. In the future, I intend to someday establish the domestic church in my home. I think that it is important to raise a well-rounded child with a strong faith and morals.
