Family Relations

This past week in class we talked a lot about research. I learned useful techniques that will help me in this class and many others in the future. We also spent the majority of the class talking about different trends. It seems as though people aren't looking at the family as a necessity anymore. Divorce rates are increasing, more people are cohabiting, and the household size is decreasing. I always wonder why people think cohabiting is the best solution-once the couple get into an argument it is much easier to walk away instead of trying to work it out. That goes along with married people as well though. With the increase of divorce rates you know something must be wrong. Communication if vital in a relationship and without it, your relationship will fail. Work with each other in time of need, there is always going to be arguments...just don't let it get the best of you. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have about the family. To me, family is the most important element of life.
