In class last week, we talked about the different trends happening in the world today when it comes to relationships.  Some of the trends are: increase in divorce, increase in premarital sex, decrease in marriage, increase in cohabitation, and a decrease in the amount of children people decide to have.  I found it amazing how all of these tie into each other.  Increase in cohabitation would essentially lead to increase in premarital sex, not getting married, not having as many kids if any at all, and if they did decide to get married, there's a higher chance of them getting divorced.  Studying all of these in class has been fascinating to me, because one decision, like cohabitation, can lead to all these negative effects.  I think it's very important to have moral values and stay away from the dangers of what could happen by succumbing to these trends.  One point that really hit me is the trend of not having as many children.  It was a big discussion in class, if we decide to have only a certain amount of children, like having only two instead of more, are we depriving the spirit children from obtaining bodies?  What are your thoughts?

This is my first blog ever, and I'm excited about it.
