Introduction
Our family is a circle of strength and love with every birth and every union. The
circle will grow, every joy shared adds more love, every crisis faced together makes the circle
stronger. And family means no one gets left behind or forgotten
Family isnt always about the people in your life who are blood relations; its about
the people in your life who want you to be in theirs. Its about the people in your life who
accept you for who you are, support you in the things you chose to do and no matter what,
they will always be there for you. There are the ones who would do anything to see you
smile. Well, no family is perfect they argue, they fight, and they even stop talking to each
other at times, but in the end, family is family. The love will always be there. A family
doesnt need to be perfect it just need to be united. Family is Gods greatest masterpiece
now thats Family.
Being a parent can be one of the most difficult (and awarding) jobs around. Its not
something that you can be perfect at. Most parents are doing the best they can for their kids
while they are at work, friends, managing a house and a lot more. But its worth trying to
improve the relationships are more than just enjoyable for their own sake, they can make their
children feel secure and locked and it can also help overcome difficulties with childrens
learning and behaviour. Even for the busiest parents, they are plenty of easy things in order to
develop their good family relationship together.
In a circle of family it is very important to spend quality time together, to
communicate in positive ways and as a family it is really important to work together as a
team and the most important thing is to appreciate each other. A happy family is but on
earlier Heaven. If you have happy family then you are lucky and blessed. Feel grateful and
thankful that you are blessed with these special ones in your life which is your family. Family
is where life begins and love never ends and in a family God will always be the center in
every hearts of the member of the family. Because the love of the family is lifes greatest
blessing.

Strong Families know their family strength and those areas they can improve.
Families are the basic, foundational social units in all human communities around the world.
Its everyones best interest to help create a positive environment for all families. In a family
in order to develop on know there strengths as a family they need appreciation and affection
with each other this are about caring for each other as family members. Members of strong
families show a strong commitment to one another, investing time together and energy in
family activities and not letting their work or other priorities takes too much time away from
family interaction. Commitment is trusting, respecting, accepting and putting your family
first. Communication is a key to a strong family; it should be open, honest and straight
forward. Family time is also one of the needs in order to know your strengths in a family.
Strong families have the ability to manage stress and crisis in their lives in positive and
creative ways. They work together rather than pulling apart. Crisis and stress are the
opportunities to help other family members.
God Created the family to provide the maximum love and support and morality and
example that one can imagine. You dont choose your family. They are Gods gift to you, as
you are to them. Theres no such thing as a broken family. Family is family, and it is not
determined by marriage, certificates, divorce papers and adoption documents. Families are
made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut.
If you cut those ties those people are not your family if you make those ties those people are
your family, and if you hate those ties those people will still be your family because whatever
you hate will always be with you. Think of your family today and everyday thereafter, dont
let the busy world of today keep you from showing how much you love and appreciate your
family.

II. Body
When one thinks of family, the first meaning that comes to the mind is: Family is a
group of people that consists of parents, children and their relatives of course every person
defines family differently. However, the difference is only the words used, but the core
significance remains the same. Family is the most important that one has in life, because it
influences children who are the future of the world, it is the only thing one can rely on, and it
is consists society. And back to Celias introduction in her reaction paper she said that Our
family is a circle of strength and it is Gods greatest masterpiece

Parents and children always will have some level of conflict, but mutual respect helps
minimize hurt feelings and animosity. Yes! It is really important to have respect with each
other especially in a family. According to Lauri Revilla the author of the Characteristics of
healthy families. If there will be no respect in a family? What would happen? Of course it
would really cause hurting each others feelings and the conflict will get bigger and bigger
without respecting each other, it is really important to respect on another, children should
respect their parents authority, but parents should also respect their childrens value and ageappropriate choices, so that it will avoid harsh words, belittling comments and lose tempers,
conflicts can be resolved quickly and effectively if there is RESPECT to one another and it
will resolved in a positive and in a healthy manner.
Commitment to family is also very important. Commitment is also meaningful to a
family and this would possibly one of the main wonderful reasons why your relationship in a
family stands strong and healthy as a family. And this will help regaining more strength in the
family, according to Celia Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. It is true that
the first person one turns to in trouble, pain or even joy and happiness is the family. Whatever
the problem is, parents are always there for their children, it is really a heart-melting knowing
that only your family and of course God are the only one who can never ever turn back on
you, and they are the ones who will always be there for you through ups and downs. All of us
are really thankful that we have our family I mean most of us rather. People feel safe within
their families where they find love, care and understanding. Whether a person is rich or poor,
sick or healthy, happy or miserable, only their family will never give up on them. Thats how

commitment in the family works and it will regain more strength when in a family the make
God as the center of their relationship.
One of the first reasons for decline in the closeness of families is connected to the
busy lifestyles that a family now lead. Most people have to work longer hours and often both
parents work, so they simply do not have as much time to spend with each other as they did
in the past. See? Its seems so sad to think that both parents doesnt have much time for their
children. What would happen to their children? Their relationship to each other? Of course
they will be a attention seeker to others and their children will be lack of love- belongingness.
Family time is one of the most important times in a childs life. All families should make time
for something this important. According to Richard L. Sale Healthy families tend to select
activities that promote the family as being important and help the family to grow closer so
this means that spending time like doing some simple activities so that the relationship in a
family will be more stronger, closer and healthier.
Today many teens value their friends over family. Most of the teens is really now
undergoing this matter that they even spend/communicate more with their friends rather than
with their families, cause they feel like their friends do understand more about what they are
going through better than their parents do. Familys needs to communicate within each other
so that they will stay strong and know from the bottom of their hearts they can depend and
rely on each other no matter what the circumstances, thats why in a family it is really
important to communicate with each other specially during meal time cause meal time is the
best time talking to each other. A family that dines together stays together. This will really
help to make each of the family member draw closer and even closer to each other and it
would make the relationship of a family even stronger. In order to start communications in a
family, they should have a meal time with their families. Family members should know that
they can depend on one another when in times of need or when they just want someone to
talk to.

III. Conclusion
Love is something that everyone knows about whether is receiving love or giving
love. It is a feeling that no human being can live without. A family that feels the love is a big
issue. Each and everyones life time there were situations that arose that they would that they
would have made it through without their family. The love of family members gives whether
a wife, husband, child or cousin is a love like no other. Not everyone feels the same way, in
some families should have this golden rule: No matter what choices that you make in life
you are still family, and we will always love you. All the reasons and examples all show why
family means love. Friendship is a very important word in any relationship, but especially
big in family. Family should all be friends, in order to have that close family bond, and for
family members to confide and trust each other.
Family is where people belong to and from where their identity comes from. A person
is valued base on his/her family and up longing. It is their family that keeps them together
through thick and thin. Without having a family, no person is complete and the completeness
comes with good family bonding. Family is bond, a long lasting relationship that holds a
bond with each other. Bonding does not happen overnight. It forms with every second, every
minute that you spend with your loved ones. The understanding, the acceptance the belonging
and security all enclosed together is how family bond is formed. A close family bond is like a
safe harbour, where we feel secure and where we trust that we have someone always there go
whom we could turn to when we need them the most. This bonding helps to build a trust and
hope that, no matter what, we have people or is with us in our toughest times. It is through
family that we learn the values of love, trust, hope, belief, cultures, morals, tradition and
every little matter that concerns to us. A strong foundation for any individual comes from
being a supportive family.
Being part of a blessed family is one among the greatest gifts that we get in life. In
fact the first gift that we get from God is to have parents, who support us, teach us values in
life and gives us a strong foundation in character, teach us importance of love and being
loved, trust to be there for one another and many other morals that could be obtained only
from a family. A gift not only with lovable parents, but siblings who care and love us beyond
themselves. We cannot buy or demand all these things in life as we are being given to
understand their importance.

Not having a sharing family base, may end up in troubles only. A child who does not
feel bad or cared, will always turn to ways where they could find them and it may at times
lead them in the wrong path. Even at the point, there is no one to correct them and guide
them. The absence of a family is like a vacuum, there is nothing that could fill it. To be part
of a happy family, each one should always thank God for the blessing we have in lives, as
having a family who cares and loves us is the greatest blessing that any person could get in
life. When we see broken families for reasons of their own, we should always remind
ourselves, how lucky we are to be parts of a family that has been and will everything else you
could set as per your choice, but getting good parents and siblings is choice that is made by
God and you can never demand it! Thats how important of having a family. Cause no matter
what happens family will always be family and the only the love of a family last and it has no
end.
