I learned about several different topics this week but the lesson on myths and societal trends stuck out the most to me. I was a little surprised about one of the myths- "people marry because they love each other." I assumed and felt like loving someone is a pretty big determiner in who you chose to marry. I know along with many other qualities and attributes, that really helped me decide to marry my husband.
The societal trends interested me because each one is on the rise and will affect my children and my children's kids. It's a scary thought to think of the world determining the way my kids chose to live their adult life and determining the way they conduct their life.
Premarital sex is on the rise and affecting all age children, and instead of marry, couples are chosing to cohabitate. It then increases the chance of having a child out of wed-lock and being a single mother. Then - If people decide to marry, they are marrying later which leads to a chance of having fewer children. It's a horrible cycle and I want to do my best to help my children know what brings "real" happiness because the world is portraying a false sense of happiness.
