This file contains an edited version of a chapter from Religion and Life by Victor Watton.
In it you will find masses of information about Christian, Hindu, Jewish and Muslim beliefs and attitudes to marriage and family life. Take some time to read through the resources picking out the things that you find most interesting. You could focus on the ideas of one faith or, perhaps, compare and contrast the beliefs and attitudes of two faiths. What are your views? Why exactly is it that you hold these views? Post a reply to this Post so you can share your ideas with others.
Marriage Module
Here are one person’s ideas of some of the things that contribute to successful marriages:
- Accept from the start that neither of you is perfect.
- Work hard at being unselfish and think of your partner’s feelings rather than your own.
- Listen to your partner even when you’re not interested in what he/she is saying.
- Talk to each other regularly – about anything.
- When in public, support your partner unconditionally even when you know he/she is wrong.
- Surprise each other now and then.
- Never, ever, take each other for granted.
- Show respect for, and trust in, each other.
- Always maintain courtesy and good manners in the relationship.
- Understand that a loving relationship takes many forms and is individual to you and your partner.
(And do things for your partner at short notice even when you are busy!)
What do you think? What ideas could you add to these?
