My experience with the ‘domestic church’ has been my Catholic
schooling and the Christian principles my parents have taught me. Growing up, I
attended church every weekend, and my parents consistently encouraged my sister
and me to practice Catholic values of honesty, kindness, generosity, etc. Based
on what I viewed in “He’s Just Not That Into You” I believe the changing
structure of marriage is positive in many ways. First, the growing acceptance
of all types of families and marriages—not just the cookie-cutter man, woman,
2.5 kids—is a wonderful trend that allows all people to find the “happily ever after”
that fits their specific situation. Also, while divorce rates have skyrocketed in
the last few decades, one positive is that people are not forced by society to
remain in unhappy, harmful, or destructive relationships. Considering all of
these factors, I hope to someday raise my kids in an environment with Christian
values, but more importantly, with acceptance of all people and all types of
families and marriages.
