    The document discusses the fragility of marriage in the Philippines. It defines marriage and outlines the traditional roles of husbands and wives. However, modern concepts emphasize mutual affection, companionship, and individual growth. While the 1987 Constitution strongly supports family values, many social factors are beginning to destroy the family unit. These include a lack of preparation for marriage, separation leading to broken families, shifting social pressures, eroticism, and drug use. Without full commitment between spouses, maintained willingly, the marriage becomes meaningless.

    CHAN, SOSUAN, Sta. MARIA
    Marriage

    man and a woman entered into in accordance
    with law for the establishment of conjugal and
    family life

    living for the family
    • Wife
    – Takes care of the domestic task
    • Today the modern concept affection,
    companionship and individual growth
    • 1987 Philippine Constitution
    – Provides strong support for family values
    – Pro-family
    – Pro-life
    • Article 2 Section 12
    – The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and
    shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic
    autonomous social institution.
    • To the Filipino, one's family is the source of personal
    identity, the source of emotional and material
    support, and the person's main commitment and
    responsibility. This sense of family results in a feeling
    of belonging or rootedness and in a basic sense of
    security. (Licuanan, 1986)
    Fragility of Marriage
    • Unfortunately, many social situations are
    beginning to destroy or deform the family
    • Today, often there is little preparation for
    marriage, and couples are rushing into
    marriage without really knowing each other’s
    values that would firmly preserve their
    marriage through periods of hardship and
    pain
    • Sometimes, separation results in the break-up
    of families.
    Fragility of Marriage
    A. Shift of Patter
    – Places a heavier burden on today’s family
    • Family
    – Intimacy

    husband and wife together
    – Eroticism
    – Drug trafficking
    – So called modern
    ideas from supposedly
    developed countries
    • The commitment, to carry any meaning at all, has to
    be willingly entered into and willingly maintained. It
    is lost when spouses stay together because they are
    left with no other choice. It is similarly lost when
    spouses live separately with their own respectively
    illegitimate families. Without the requisite
    commitment, there is no point in maintaining the
    marriage. The marriage would be nothing but a
    farce, a charade and a mockery of that social
    institution which we hold most dear. (Gloria, 2007)
