Young adulthood was the main focus of this week. The topic that was of most interest to me was the readings on marriage. Marriage has definitely changed in recent history and divorce is now considered part of the marriage process. With all the thing we have today that can negatively impact a relationships, drugs, alcohol, pornography, and being a couch potato just to name a few things. Some of these are not modern while others are fairly recent but they all can effect a marriage. Expectations is also huge in modern relationships people often have images of the "perfect" relationship and when their relationships do not match their expectations they are often let down and can end the relationship without trying to fix. They feel that they will be happier if the find the "right" person.
Marriage is a team effort both the man and the woman need to work together to make it work. Marriage is a very important relationship in our young adult life. It is also one of the longest most of us will ever have. However, With the high divorce rate marriage has become a more expendable relationship and commitment. Which is unfortunate for america and its youth.
