Cohabitation / Problems
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the problems that can arise from living together without marriage. Living together has caused far more controversy than just the value of maintaining laws that are no longer enforced. The focus here is its effects on traditional marriage and social issues. Though the most common opinion is that there is nothing 'wrong' with living together either instead of, or before marriage, there is increasing evidence that there is indeed something 'wrong' with it, to the extent that it is listed as a risk factor against the success of subsequent marriage between the same partners.

Commitment In Interpersonal/Sexual Relationships
[ send me this paper ]
This 20 page paper explores the topics of commitment in interpersonal and commitment in sexual relationships beginning with an introduction to the concept of commitment – what is it, what does it mean in today's world, and the conclusions of two studies looking into commitment between dating couples. The writer then discuses the ethics of commitment and sexual ethics, a very hot topic in today's world, most of which focuses on the relationship of homosexual couples; next, is a discussion of the theology of commitment. The writer asserts that God wants us to make commitments, first to Him and then to others in our lives but where does commitment fit in this disposable world. The last section addresses pastoral care and counseling, premarital, marital, and divorce. Here, the different types of families are identified along with the ways in which some pastors face the challenge of these diverse families, including the lesbian or gay couple. An approach that has been remarkably successful in reducing the number of divorces is explained in this section. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Conceptual Framework Of Posttraumatic Growth And Social Work's Epistemological Approach: Similar
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. To understand what some might consider the opposing perspectives of social work's epistemological approach and the conceptual framework of posttraumatic growth, one must realize the common denominator inherent to both aspects of personal development: That greater knowledge comes with tremendous - albeit unexpected - change. The extent to which beneficial change often takes place within a person who has experienced posttraumatic stress is both grand and far-reaching; that social work epistemology strives to reach the core of such a transformation where personal knowledge is concerned speaks to an intrinsic similarity in what might be misconstrued as otherwise contrasting concepts.
