The economy of Migration:
In the light of the economic situation spouse/ parents leave families behind to look for jobs that offer greater compensation but at the price of stability of their spousal bond, the proper maturation of their children who are deprived of the guidance and love of their parents at the most impressionable years of their life.
Mass Media:
Most programs in the mass media are engineered to change our attitude towards relationships and sexuality. They are designed to break down sexual inhibitions, invalidate traditional values, destroys parental and family trust and have for reaching consequences changing the mind, morals and motivation of an entire generation.
Technology :
We live in an age where speed is the essence of life. We have no time to listen, to dialogue, to reflect. We have lost the ability to be still.Speed has and is destroying relationships, marriages and families because we want immediate results/ happiness/ solutions/ peace/understanding/ compatibility. Technology has recreated the way we live and subsequently the need to always use things and people for our own convenience.
Challenges at the work place:
The family today is under pressure with working and children away from the university. The Family has little time for togetherness and bonding rituals. But perhaps the greater challenge is at the workplace, with changing work culture that demands more time and dedication. We are moving into a generation where our colleagues and work performance, social status and career opportunities are prioritized over spouse and family. This threatens the spousal bond. If spouses do not set boundaries for themselves it is not difficult to have significant others at the workplaces, who meet your emotional needs. Infidelity is the end result held with the value of relativism.Often the role of being a good provider takes precedence over being a faithful spouse or loving parent.
Influence of extended Family:
Marriage is a significant decision in the life of adult which triggers a re-orientation in the list of one's priorities. It is a process of adjustment as well" Adjustment implies that all things/ persons will fade in importance when compared with the welfare or well being of one's spouse/ marriage commitment. The spouse be the first priority. Only then can one enter fully, freely faithfully and fruitfully in to relationship.
Dealings with Psycho- medical challenges calls for:
Awareness: To foster awareness of the internal/ external/family of origin stressors that exist.
Acceptance: Dysfunction can be worked on with great success. Spouses accept their own area of dysfunction
Action : Commit to make the spousal band a priority.
: Identify and work through Stressors (internal and external)
: Build the spousal relationship through communication and couple prayer.
Sustain the spousal bond through Rituals and connect.
