Lesson 01

This past week in Family Relations was pretty interesting. We talked about the family and 9 things that are affecting marriages and families. 1.- people are waiting longer to marry, 2.- Cohabitation is increasing, 3.- there are fewer children; birth rates are decreasing (about 1/2), 4.- non-marital births are increasing, 5.- Employed mothers, 6.- household size is decreasing, 7.- divorce rates increasing, 8.- living alone increasing, 9.- sex is increasing. I found this all really interesting.
