The Changing Face of Marriage

In my experience of the domestic church, my parents have taught my siblings and I to be faithful Catholics. We try to go to mass every Sunday together and on the weekdays we eat together and pray at the dinner table. I think that being part of the domestic church means that parents try to teach their children to be compassionate, respectful and to set good examples as they get older. When I become a parent, I want my kids to have the same experience that I had and establish the domestic church in my home. There are many pros and cons in the changing structure of marriage. For example, unfortunately, there is a larger divorce rate than in the past. However, now more women and men are trying to wait until age 30 to get married in order to maintain a stronger and longer marriage. In addition, more people are getting married after they have earned a college degree. In the changing composition of marriage, more women are making more money than their husbands. It is different from the past when people used to think the fathers were the only breadwinners of the family. For me, I think that it is important that men and women both earn a college degree before getting married. Also, I think it is important that women are seen as equals in marriage.
