    Assess the contribution of functionalism to our understanding of the family

    Other sociologists such as Parsons argue that the family has to provide the primary socialisation of children, to ensure the safety of society’s culture and the stabilisation of adult personalities. The family performs vital functions of society, and for all the individual members’ in it. “The family reproduces the next generation and thereby ensures the continuation of society over time” The quote explains that if there was no such thing as a family, then there would be no sexual satisfactions, as a result of this there would be no reproducing, and therefore could lead to the dying out of the population, which means humans would become extinct. However potentially disruptive it could be it is still necessary to sustain a bond between couples, also setting moral rules.…

    “I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say ‘we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage’ and I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that” (Valentin).…

    Holy Matrimony

    Holy Matrimony

    Two definitions from two different dictionaries are as follows: "The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife", "The state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a legal, consensual and contractual relationship recognized and sanctioned by and dissolvable only by law." It is quite ironic how it is stated, "…union of a man and woman…" and does not say nor hint at "man and man" or "woman and woman". These definitions were derived from mankind, mankind that put an effort in building as what we all know as America. America 's government was established with the belief in God, and therefore allowing same sex marriage is a contradiction to our founding fathers and the government we are sanctioned upon. This paper will discuss and analyze same sex "marriage" through the foundation of our government, moral views, homosexual views, and holy matrimony verses a union of two persons.…

    Ephesians On The Sacrament Of Creation

    In chapters 1 and 2 the writer has analyzed the teachings of John Paul II, on the couple as the sacrament of creation, including the theological teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas on the sacrament of creation. This chapter continues the discussion on the sacrament of creation focusing precisely on St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians on the relation of the couple to Christ and the Church. Perry says that “in the earliest days of the Church, Christian marriage was seen as something holy, intimately related to Christ’s love for the Church as expressed in the letter to the Ephesians.”…

    Marriage Before Christ and Today

    The social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal loyalty, the state, condition, or relationship of being married; wedlock, a relationship in which two people have pledged themselves to each other in the manner of a husband and wife, these definitions describe one of Gods greatest honors given to man . Marriage is the binding of two people into one union. In today’s society people get married and the easy way out of the situation is to get a divorce. In some cases there is nothing else to do, but there are also people who are selfish and do not want to be held down. In this paper I am going to show you the customs and traditions of marriages before Christ, compared to the marriages of today’s society.…

    Theology Of Marriage

    “The secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don't find very often, then that is what love is all about.” This quote by Bruce Forsyth does a great job of summing up what marriage is all about, peace and love. There are many marriages out there in current day that do not last long, but for those that chose the right person, marriage has many beautiful characteristics that make it so special to one’s heart. Marriage, however, was thought of differently with some similarities in the past and had a few perspectives I will be discussing. The four perspectives in the western society were spiritual, social, contractual, and natural.…

    The Roman Catholic Eucharist as a Manifestation of the Sacred

    The definition of religion can be viewed in three main perspectives: functionalist, essentialist, and family resemblance. Many theorists of religion have looked at the actual rituals that take place within certain religions in order to help define religion as well. The Roman Catholic Eucharist, the roots of which can be traced back to the Passover meal when Christ gave bread and wine to his disciples as His body and blood, is one such ritual that is practiced in the Catholic Church daily. Through Jesus’ words “do this in memory of me,” this ritual has been preserved as a sacrament. In this paper, I will look at what the Roman Catholic Eucharist is, its history, and how two theorists of religion, Mircea Eliade and Mary Douglas, would have interpreted this ritual that is one of the cores of Roman Catholic belief.…

    Christian Marriage and Family

    In the Word of God there are three pact institutions that were created by God and they are specified as (1) the family, (2) the church, and (3) the government. Marriage is a legal relationship established by God and for this reason it is also considered a marriage pact, (because it involves the relationship between two people). It is a union that according to the Bible is sealed not only by legally binding documents but also by God Himself. Because of God’s seal on this pact or union, He is the supreme authority of this relationship and no man can divide it. The marriage union is not to be taken lightly because it involves the union between two parties and God and many…
