Families

This week we studied a lot about divorce, marriage, pre-martial sex, working mothers, child birth rates, co-habitation, people living alone, age at which people get married at and other areas of human life in my Family Relations class.

It was very intriguing to me to learn that less and less people are getting married and having children. It is my personal belief that the greatest and most fulfilling joys in life are centered around family. I am not saying that you have to have a spouse and children to be happy. But I do believe that there is great joy in marriage and having children.

This quote comes to mind from David O McKay, "No other success can compensate for failure in the home". I have found that the happiest times of my life have been when I get along with my siblings, parents and grandparents.

Just think of holidays and what they represent. What are they centered around? Family and loved ones.
