(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Sounds like stronger marriages might be trending - right in the middle of a pandemic. It could happen as a result of other positive trends:
- Husbands and wives sharing more household responsibilities because they're both home
- Husbands and wives engaging together more, i.e. listening, talking, problem solving
- Both moms and dads interacting more with the kids, hearing/understanding their kids
- A re-discovered "productive household"
Up until the last century, family homes were socially and economically the center of society with sharing of meals, labor, recreation, worship, education. Most of that in the 21st century can be and is purchased rather than created at home, which may reduce the home to just bunk space and fridge.
A backyard garden, cooking together, a bonfire, home improvements, garage cleaning--if a more productive household produces stronger family bonds during the pandemic, that's good news to be thankful for.
