There was a comment made in class that all of these trends we learned about the family have a ripple effect on each other. I had never thought about this before. For example, pre-marital sex can lead to pregnancy, which has an effect on birth rates and births to unmarried woman. These can also lead to divorce or cohabitation. Learning about all of these current trends in the family that are going on in the world made me a little sad. I think it is so important to grow up in a loving home. We know that, "Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity." I think the trend that scares me the most is divorce. That can have a ripple effect on your family forever. How important it is for us to use our agency wisely and to set examples to others in the world. Its not just important, but its critical.
