Overall from this course I learned of the different types of families, the changes from older to newer types of families, relationship patterns among many other things. The one this that shocked me was the statistics on cohabitation before marriage and the amount of children who come from homes that have an alcoholic within them. I would have thought before this class that by living with the partner before marriage would allow for the partner to get to know each other and have no surprises after marriage for how they really are like. It is a common fact that after you move in with someone you really get to understanding who they are, and personally I would want to know almost everything about that person before I decide to make the commitment to marry them. Also from this class I learned that 1 in 5 children have alcoholic parents. That was a huge eye opener for me. This statistic made me want to become a much more supportive and aware teacher.
To conclude this course I will add some photos of the family that I grew up in:
