E. Stages of Marriage: Identify and define/

(http://lists101.his.com/pipermail/smartmarriages/)

1. Blinded by Love- It's the fairytale we all dream about. Lives are
devotedly entwined as you revel in the euphoric state of romantic
love. Dubbed the "starry-eyed effect" by marriage therapists,it’s
a blissful oasis in the desert of life.

2. The Honeymoon's Over: The facade of your mate's "perfect"demeanour

is likely to crack after the first post-nuptial fight. It's a
devastating experience. As his or her flaws bubble to the surface,
you face the harsh discovery that your partner is
human after all.

face the trauma of "the four-year itch" -- it was previously pegged at seven -
- at a time when many are opting to start a family.

4. "Honey, I'm Back": The kids are gone. Efforts to fan the flames during the
previous tumultuous years pay off now as you bask in the playful, "couple"
pleasures you once shared. Hopefully, intimacy has been consciously
woven into your relationship.

5. Hanging up the Spurs: Retirement paves the way for a carefree lifestyle with
time for travel and leisure activities.

6. Aging Gracefully: Accepting your mate's flaws and virtues is the key to an
enduring marriage

B. Atmosphere in the home

* Home should have rules; and parents should, in their words and deportment
toward each other, give to the children a precious, living example of what they
desire them to be. Purity in speech and true Christian courtesy should be
constantly practiced. Teach the children and youth to respect themselves, to be
true to God, true to principle; teach them to respect and obey the law of God.
These principles will control their lives and will be carried out in their associations
with others. They will create a pure atmosphere--one that will have an influence
that will encourage weak souls in the upward path that leads to holiness and
heaven. Let every lesson be of an elevating and ennobling character, and the
records made in the books of heaven will be such as you will not be ashamed to
meet in the judgment./ (http://www.crcbermuda.com/)

*A difference in values and attitudes between one generation and another, especially
between young people and their parents.
*For example, there’s a real generation gap in their choice of music, restaurants and
clothing.

What are the causes of generation gap? / (http://www.answers.com/)

*Generation gap is caused due to more rapid cultural change during the modern era.
This leads to the increase of the differences between the two generations compared to
previous times which cause a generation gap.

Why do so few understand the cause of the generation gap?

What are the possible solutions to generation gap? /

(http://www.indianmoms.com/oct-ezine/3.htm)
 * Lots of communication and involvement - this one's obvious but not always
easy to follow. It just means that if you're not talking to the children because
you're too busy or too mad at them or because you disagree with whatever they
say then you've cut off your channel of communication. So what you need to
remember when dealing with teenagers is that they may be insufferable know
alls a lot of the time but they'll learn that there are gray shades between the
blacks and the whites soon enough. Also that intolerance or a judgmental attitude
will hurt you more than your child.
 Lots of time spent together in play and fun- it’s harder to think you hate your mom
or dad when you spend a large part of your week having fun with them. It's even
harder when in many ways they are your best friends.
 Clear boundaries - thus far and no further or they will face clearly defined
consequences. As long as children know this, you and they both can be much
freer with each other without you worrying about being taken advantage of.
 Clear values - make it clear that everything has to be earned. If they want respect
for their opinions they have to learn to respect the opinions of others. Similarly
other values to stress are honesty, compassion and tolerance.
 Foster self-dependence - essentially this means teach them to know their own
minds and make their own decisions. This will help them to keep their balance in
the face of peer pressure. Self-dependence starts early - let your child have a
say in family affairs as well as in matters personally affecting him from the time
that he is a toddler. Let him help with family chores and earn a part of his own
money. Make it clear that even when he makes mistakes, it's not the end of the
world - it's an essential part of the learning process.
 Don't forbid anything in absolute terms because the forbidden is always very
attractive!

What makes the teenagers get involved in drugs, illicit sex and other life wrecking
situations? / (http://www.indianmoms.com/oct-ezine/3.htm)

*Teenager is no longer content with living life with a modest budget; he wants to enjoy
life's luxuries to the hilt. On the positive side, he is willing to work hard to achieve his
aims but on the negative side, the single-minded pursuit of success doesn't leave much
time for family especially grandparents. The world is graying fast but the respect and
dignity traditionally accorded old age is disappearing just as fast.

media, the environment and also the school. /Father________________________

The generation gap is because by the new technologies and styles of the youth
that comes out. Teenagers now were not satisfied with what they have. They always
explore new things. There is no understanding and respecting in the family.

What are the possible solutions to generation gap?

Communication is the best solution for this problem. Every parent must know the
benefits and harm of their children about this generation. There is also a need of
understanding to avoid conflicts. We must not tolerate our children with their wrong
doings. Let us make them realized their faults and what they must do to correct it. It is
not bad to let them go with their fashions because it is a great experience for them, but
it must be limited. / Father________________________

One of the possible solutions for this were understanding each other, respecting
one another and discipline in one’s self. /Mother________________________
