My experience of the domestic church started when I was little and still continues today. Every Sunday, my parents took my siblings and I to mass and now we know to do so without being told. They have showed me the importance of faith and God in my life and the fact that I must make God a part of my everyday life. In addition, my mom would pray with me before I went to bed to thank God for the events that happened that day and for the special people in my life when I was younger. We would also pray together as a family before dinner and still do when we are all home at the same time to eat. Through these several things, my parents have been the first preachers of faith for me. Not only have they done this through their actions but they correct me when I do wrong so that I do the right thing the next time and be a better person. Through their instructions and examples, they have showed me how to be more like God and therefore a better person. Because of the example and experience of the domestic church, I plan to instill it in my home when I am older for my kids. I learned from my parents the importance of God and the need to keep Him in my life before I went to school and had religion class.
I am not surprised by the statistics that said people with a college degree have a less chance of divorcing than those who do not have a degree. This is because, for the most part those going to college are motivated people who have goals for the future. They strive to accomplish what they had planned and become situated with their life and then focus on marriage. Together they have a stable income and can afford the things they need and not have the financial stress. However, those who do not have a college degree usually face the financial difficulties which puts tension between the couple. Although these are the statistics, I would hope that above all else there is love between the couple and they could work through their problems.
