Oghurn)
* Reproduction * Regulation of sexual behavior
* Protection * Affection and companionship

strains a child would bring and that it may
break up before the child is grown.

were part of other families.

thereby extending to gay and lesbian couples
legal advantages in inheritance, taxation, and
joint property ownership.
Factors to consider in responsible
parenthood
The ultimate goal of marriage is to raise a family. The
implication relies on how parents assume their
responsibility in caring and supporting their children to
attain the best possible future. Preparing for parenthood
requires a lot of consideration such as:

1. Parental role- to provide physical, material and


continuous guidance to the children in order for them
to become responsible members of the family and
society.
2. Emotional adjustment- to be emotionally prepared
and adjusted to cope up with the challenges of life.
3. Family Relationship- to perform each
role and create a harmonious relationship.

4. Knowledge in child rearing- educated


parents are better prepared to face the
challenges of parenthood.
