4.1 Objective 1 and 2: Define Marriage and Parenting; identify the marital adjustment factor;

Why people marry? Most individuals who marry begin with the intent of making lifetime commitment.
Most people marry because they fall in love and are ready to enter into a lasting, intimate relationship.

Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law
for the establishment conjugal and family life.

Parenting child rearing promotes and supports the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child
from infancy to adulthood.

Choosing Marriage
When two individuals understand that marriage is their eventual goal:
1. Their relationship becomes thoughtful.
2. They make deeper commitments to each other.
3. They consider long-term consequences when making decisions.

Successful Marriage
Marital adjustment depends various factor:
1. Good Communication: Couples need to be able to share their feelings and express their needs and concerns.
2. Similar Values and Interest: When couples are share attitudes about religious beliefs, cultural heritage, and
friendships, they spend more time together, which strengthens a marriage.
3. Emotional Maturity in Marriage
One of the most important factors for a successful marriage is maturity. People who are emotional healthy try to
understand their partner’s needs and are willing to compromise.
Emotional maturity enables partners to deal with the problems and decisions of marriage.
Most teens are still struggling to figure out their own identity and to set goals for their own future. It is unlikely that
they have had a chance to determine what is important to them or what they want in a marriage partner.

Reasons for Unsuccessful Teen Marriages

 Teens begin to realize that they have increased responsibilities that may interfere with personal freedoms
and educational or career goals.

 They recognize that they do not have enough life experience to make this important and lasting life choice.

 Overwhelming financial pressures add stress to the relationship.

4.1 Objective 3: Discuss the responsibilities of parenthood.

Types of Parenting
1. Authoritarian Parenting- It is where parents raise their children by establishing very strict rules with no question
2. Authoritative Parenting- It is where parents establish strict rules in the household but allow open discussion with
their children.
3. Permissible Parenting- It is where parents have minimal discipline for their children and have high responsiveness
from them.
4. Uninvolved Parenting- It is where parents have no involvement raising their children.

Responsibilities of Parenthood

Starting a Family
Some couples choose adoption, and others may choose to bring foster children into their lives. Parents must provide
protection, food, clothing, shelter, education, and medical care. Parenting also involves providing guidance, instilling
values, setting limits, and giving unconditional love.

Providing Guidance
Parenting involves providing guidance and teaching children that each individual is responsible for his or her
own successes and failures. One way to do this is by encouraging children and helping them develop a sense of
pride in their accomplishments.
Another aspect of parenthood is guiding and protecting children while teaching them to make their own decisions.

Promoting a Healthy Family

When parents are joined by the extended family grandparents and other family members in their role of
promoting a healthy family, the joy of raising children becomes a shared experience. When children see family
members interacting in a mature, loving, and caring manner, they are more likely to grow up to be healthy and
productive.

Instilling Values
As children grow, they develop a set of values, the system of beliefs and standards of conduct that they find
important and that will guide the way they live. Values help children develop strong character and resiliency to resist
the negative influences they may encounter. Parents who teach positive values help their children become happy,
mature adults.

Setting Limits
One way parents can help their children develop positive values is to set limits and establish a clearly
defined set of rules. When children learn limits, they become self-directed.
Guidelines to Follow When Disciplining Children

 Act quickly so that children understand the link between misbehavior and consequences.

 Distinguish between the behavior and the child so that children think of themselves as people who
sometimes misbehave rather than as bad children.

 Be consistent with rules and consequences so that children can easily establish a connection between
certain behaviors and resulting consequences.

 Praise positive behavior.

 Giving Unconditional Love.
