I'm Etalie, I'm currently studying for my AS levels and will (hopefully) be posting revision entries on psychology and sociology.
I previously uploaded posts on GCSE revision. If it helps you then great! But I'm not an expert on anything AT ALL so don't rely on everything I post.
(Also, I'm not taking credit for any of the pictures or info here, it's all off google images, notes from BBC bitesize and CGP revision guides, textbooks etc)

(NB - GCSE: italics in the science subjects are things that are only in paper 2!)

RELIGION AND LIFE 

 3 - MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY 

 Family life - 

 Why it is important for Christians - 

  • A main purpose of Christian marriage is to have children and bring them up to be good Christians 
  • Family created by God as basis of society and the only place for bringing up children 
  • Family too important to be broken up by divorce 
  • Teaches children the difference between right and wrong 
  • Important for Christianity to continue and grow (brings children into the faith) 
However - 
  • Jesus taught there are more important things than family 
  • Catholic priests, nuns and monks leave family to serve God 
Why it is important to Jews - 
  • Mitzvot for Jewish people to marry and have children 
  • Children of Jewish parents are automatically Jewish - continuation of faith 
  • Teaches children the difference between right and wrong
  • Where Shabbat is served and festivals celebrated 
  • Importance stated in Ten Commandments
