The Value and Challenges Families Face Today
Recently, I have been reflecting upon stories I've heard in the past of "massive families." My mind cannot fathom parents in the past having four, five, or even TEN KIDS. In our modern day, this is unheard of. We rarely see families having more than three kids anymore. Throughout history, it has become more and more unheard of to have larger families. Why is this? Why have our views of families changed so much through the course of history? While attending college I have learned so much about the different views on family and how as a society, we have come to view families. Today we typically hear and see our peers and friends talking about waiting to marry, having children before marriage, and having smaller families. Families are in danger. The norm of "not getting married or delaying marriage" is hurting families across the world.
