This week in family relations class a part of our class time we focused on transitions in marriage. A part that really stood out to me this week was a few question we had to answer as partner groups. The first question was concerning who would be making the money and who would make the decisions how to spend it. My answer detailed that the father would be the primary money maker and that all decisions would be made together, mutually agreed upon. The second question was how close would the parents of each other be to their family and how much vacation time would be spent visiting family. The answer that I had was that the parents would have a good relationship with my family, yet, not be too or over involved in our lives, also that part of the vacation time would be spent visiting family. The third question was how much alone time would be spent with my spouse and my answer was that whatever we find to work best and a good amount of time for the both of us.Also how much time would be spent with the children and this would also be whatever were to work best for everyone. Through this week I was able to recognize the many transitions that occur in marriage and how to prepare for them.
