week 2 :)

This week in family relations we have been discussing family life! One thing that has really stood out to me and has made an impact of my view of families is the trends of marriage. I was shocked at how many new trends there is within marriage! Many people believe that when you start having children you start having marital dissatisfaction. Mainly because you have more people to start looking after and you have to provide for them financially. Which can by very hard at times. Many times husbands and wives start getting out of touch because the mom has to prepare the children and take them places the children is her main focus not so much on the father... this can also be the other way around to with the fathers work. Aldo it was interesting that cohabitation has had an 80 percent increase. This is saying to me that more and more people are believing that families are not important and having a family is going to hurt you from you long life goals. I was also amazed by the amount of house hold sizes that are getting smaller. Families are just beginning to diminish which is very scary. We need family. We need their support. That is how we survive life.
