My experience of 'domestic church' has been living in a loving and caring household. My parents are super supportive of my sister and me. We go to church as a family on Christmas and Easter. We used to go to church much more when I was younger. My parents baptized my sister and me within the church. I also was confirmed in the Presbyterian Church. We go to Abington Presbyterian Church (pictured). From movies and television, marriage seems stressful and complicated. I think the structure of marriage and family life is also changing. Women are now working and are not raising children on their own. Many families put their children in daycare. Also, the traditional roles of men and women, as far as roles around the house, are also changing. Women do yard work and men cook and clean. It is good to know that college educated people are less likely to get divorced. Also, college is a good way to meet potential spouses and life long friends. I guess I will establish a domestic church in my home someday. It will depend on my husband's views and beliefs too. I will definitely not lose my connection with the church and my belief in God.

You are fortunate to have such a strong foundation in your faith community that will stay with you in college and beyond! I agree that marriage structure and life is changing, just as people's attitudes about their self-expression and identity are changing.
