Changing the Face of Marriage

I feel like 'domestic church' is whatever you and your partner decide upon. When having children, you must talk about situations such as these before having them so that you can work out the problems before kids are in the mix. After reading the Busted Halo article, I have come to agree and disagree with a lot of their statements. First, I disagree that families with be strengthened by economic growth because I feel like I know a lot of families who struggle with money, but they are perfectly happy with their lives and partners. I feel like sometimes when partners go through tough times with money, that could strengthen their bond. I find the statistic that people with a lower degree more likely to divorce very interesting. I do agree that young people going to four-year colleges will not help solve the growing problem of divorce. When people are more educated, they are more likely to make rational and 'smarter' decisions. I hope that one day I can raise my children with a domestic church. I hope they will believe in God and the goodness that comes from Him. Religion should be a family tradition with good family values with love and forgiveness. When I find a life partner I will ensure that we have the same attitude to the domestic church and how we can formulate it to match our beliefs and lifestyle. We should embody Christ in everyday life even if it is not physically stepping into a church and we can do that by having a loving enviornment right in our home.
