The Changing Face of Marriage

My experience through living in the "domestic church" has been strong thanks to the guidance of my parents. They taught me from a young age to respect others which is key in a successful marriage. Unfortunately, in today's society the sacrament of marriage has been shattered by a high divorce rate. Another concept that strays from traditional "ideals" is same-sex marriages. However, television sitcoms like The New Normal or Modern Family  strive to portray same-sex marriages and divorces as acceptable and normal. For me, a "domestic church" stems from a strong bond between two people who love and care for each other. In the end, growing acceptance of heterosexual and homosexual couples is clearly a plus and changing the definition of "domestic church" while couples that automatically turn towards divorce is negative. Thanks to the healthy relationship my parents have portrayed  I understand how a strong relationship should function. I intend on teaching my own family traditional church views along with the positive new views taking place today.
