My experience of the "domestic church" has been fully active in mine and my family's life. My brother and I have attended Catholic schools all of our lives. Our family always attends mass every Sunday together no matter how busy our schedule is. My parents were both raised Catholic so they have made sure to teach my brother and I to follow important Catholic teachings such as the three theological virtues: faith, hope, and love. My parents also believe in sharing quality time together such as family dinners or family vacations. This shows that our family exhibits a strong sense of closeness and happiness even outside of the church.
There are pros and cons of the changing structure and composition of marriage and family. Television shows that marriage is taken lightly and that it is more common to get divorced, which society has started to mimic lately. This is definitely a con of the changing structure of marriage because marriage should be taken more seriously in our society. A pro of the changing structure and composition of marriage is that some wives are starting to have greater income salary compared to their husbands. This shows women's ability to play an important authoritative role in marriages today.
I believe that I will someday establish the domestic church in my future home because of how successful it has turned out for my family and other families in my community.
