I was suppose to post this last week, but wasn't sure if we were suppose to. Here are my thoughts about last week's lesson. We discussed family trends and why birth rates and marriage rate was decreasing and how divorces and cohabitating rate were increasing.
After the class, I was very interested in the subject and how surprising the information was. I had never had thought that everything affects each aspect. Because cohabitating was becoming more common that they would date for 5+ years before they made a real commitment to each other or sometimes they never commit to each other but have children. Once they've made a commitment, they would wait another couple years before having children and by that time they have 1-2 kids. Therefore, the birthrate decreased. I think that cohabitating is interesting and more interesting if they have children, it think that it teaches children that they don't have to make commitment to other people or they will most likely follow their parent's footsteps. I know a few people in my family that cohabitated and some of thier relationships worked out and some other's didn't.
I wish that more people knew more about the gospel and what blessings they could recieve from having a family and to know their purpose here on earth is.
