What a family is built on: basic principles. What is a family? What are family relationships based on?

You can try to create a family based on interest, sympathy, affection or passion, but there is a high probability that it will very quickly fall apart from the very first difficulties of life, just as a house of cards collapses from the blow of the wind.

However, love alone is not enough for family happiness. After all, a house is not only a foundation, right? In addition to love, building family happiness also requires understanding. In a happy family, harmony and agreement always reign between spouses. After all, as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said, lovers are not those who look at each other, but those who look in the same direction.

There are, of course, situations when understanding is very difficult to find. Even the most devoted lovers sometimes see the world differently, one wants one thing, the other wants another. If both insist on their own, sooner or later this problem will develop from a hidden conflict into an open confrontation. Therefore, one of the spouses will have to give in, because another building block of family happiness is self-sacrifice. Who will have to sacrifice - husband or wife - is another question. Apparently, it will be decided depending on the situation and the individual characteristics of each person. This, however, does not mean that you can simply forget about the wishes of the other spouse. His opinions, feelings, thoughts and desires must also be taken into account, because another step towards family happiness is respect.

The next step on the path to building a happy family is paying attention to your loved one. You should never forget about the little pleasures that can bring joy to your other half. Sometimes a funny love note left near a sleeping wife’s pillow, like a sudden romantic dinner with candles prepared for her husband, can give such happiness that you will not experience even after receiving the most expensive and long-awaited birthday gift.

The load-bearing wall of family happiness is the ability to ask for forgiveness and the ability to forgive. It is common for all people to make mistakes, just as it sometimes seems to everyone that they have been undeservedly offended. For a real family, it is important not so much to avoid quarrels as to avoid their consequences. Therefore, there is no need to delay reconciliation. After all, if this time someone is the first to admit his guilt, even if he is not guilty, then next time someone else will forgive him even for a very serious offense.

A truly happy family is unthinkable without trust. It is easy to doubt a loved one, just as it is easy to destroy a fragile family balance because of this. Therefore, you must learn to trust the one you love as yourself. Trust, in turn, implies sincerity in relationships. Remember the saying: better is the bitter truth than a sweet lie. Of course, there are exceptions to any situation, and no one has yet canceled white lies, but it is very important to remember that sooner or later any deception is revealed - and then a small omission may seem like a real betrayal.

Oddly enough, but among other things, lovers also need a certain amount of freedom. It would seem that this contradicts the very understanding of a family, where everything should be common and unified. But actually it is not. Despite the fact that, upon entering into marriage, a man acquires the status of a husband and, in most cases, a father, and a woman, respectively, a wife and mother, first of all, both spouses still remain individuals. And any individual sometimes needs to devote time to himself, not at the expense of his family, of course. To be happy, it is very important to remember that a family is not a prison, and freedom should not be given here, you simply should not be deprived of it. It is much easier to initially show your spouse that you respect his right to self-determination than to try for many years to change him and eventually come to the conclusion that you simply “didn’t get along.”

Well, what kind of house can there be without a roof? And the roof of family happiness - the one that protects from snow, rain and wind, cold and heat from family adversity - is patience. Sometimes the ability to maintain restraint and self-control, not to give up and not succumb to difficulties, saves even those families that are on the verge of collapse. The main thing is to believe that problems are not eternal and that over time everything will get better. And there will definitely be happiness.

Because your family stands on the strongest foundation that can withstand anything. Remember what this is? That's right, love!

Family relationships in the life of any person are considered the most important because it is the main thing that he can have.

People spend a huge number of hours at work, but when they return home, they want to plunge into the comfort, warmth and love of loved ones. Society has a certain opinion and understanding of what family means.

From a scientific point of view, a family is a group of people that is based either on marriage between loving hearts or on blood kinship.

Moreover, these people are bound by certain obligations: property obligations, moral ethics and respect.

If we look at the legal side

Family members have certain legal obligations to each other. Parents must necessarily develop and educate their children.

Psychological point of view

The relationship between parents and children should be based on love and respect.

A family can be identified by certain characteristics:

  • Cohabitation;
  • housekeeping;
  • marriage;
  • acquisition of joint real estate and other material assets;
  • unity of the moral, moral and psychological level;
  • community of interests and views;
  • joint recreation;
  • presence of children.

Married family

There are many types of marriage. These are monogamous and polygamous. In the first case, the union consists of two partners, and in the second of several. In addition, a family can have spouses of different sexes or the same sex. Thanks to our legislation, our country is characterized by monogamous and heterosexual marriage, which meets all ethical standards.

Families also differ in the number of children: from childless to large. But that's not all! The family can be complex and nuclear, in which only a married couple and a child live. In a complex form, several generations live together at once.

What is marriage?

This is a concluded union on an equal and free basis, which must comply with the law of the country, that is, the age category for marriage has been determined, the presence of different genders, and so on. Marriage should only be voluntary. People who have connected themselves with rings are considered to have completely equal rights: in raising children, choosing a workplace, in personal rights and in property acquired together.

Relationship between husband and wife

The relationship between a married couple depends primarily on the couple themselves, because behavior towards each other creates a relationship. Before marriage, lovers dream of complete mutual understanding, harmony and well-being, but over time the relationship deteriorates, which leads to periodic quarrels, resentments and misunderstandings.

The reasons for bad relationships are the same for different couples. To prevent this process as much as possible, it is necessary to familiarize yourself in advance with the list of the main causes of quarrels. First of all, this is humiliation of the partner. Often, one of the couple tries to destroy the other’s self-esteem in order to increase his own and achieve leadership in the relationship. All kinds of nagging and remarks lead to strong grievances, and therefore, quarrels subsequently arise.

Then you can note the betrayal of one of the spouses and even the birth of a child. In the second case, the wife often becomes the culprit, since she ceases to pay due attention to her husband. In some cases, partners show a negative attitude towards the habits and behavior of the other, trying to change the spouse for themselves. Naturally, a person accustomed to certain manners and habits cannot change his behavior overnight. Therefore, we need to understand each other and always make concessions to each other.

During minor domestic quarrels, it is necessary to avoid insults and shouting. To maintain primary relationships, it is recommended to show love more often, touch each other, kiss and speak kind words. You also need to learn to forgive and ask for forgiveness, not take quarrels and intimate details outside the family, treat your partner’s close relatives and friends with respect, give gifts and spend more time together.

But the most important condition is not to lose mutual respect!

Relationships between children and parents

In order for the relationship between older and smaller family members to be harmonious, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules of upbringing.

This is a respectful attitude towards the child’s opinion and proof of what is right, not with a belt and screams, but with a clear explanation and long conversations. You should not scold a child for minor offenses, especially if children admit them on their own.

After all, a trusting relationship based not on fear, but on understanding, will later allow the child to tell the details of his life to his parents. In a word, relationships should be more friendly. Try to create only a favorable atmosphere, because aggression breeds nervousness and hot temper. Spend more time together: play, work and relax!

To create a solid foundation for your own family, you need to work effectively on yourself. We must develop understanding, empathy, respect and even self-sacrifice towards each other. Create your own traditions and values ​​and do not lose love, because family is an important part in the life of every person!

Continuation

What's happened -

View from the outside -

Design -

What are family relationships based on? What is their true meaning and what is their purpose? To what extent does the composition and form of relations correspond to the requirements of today? Let's try to figure this out. Let’s assume that the partners’ relationship developed classically. Meeting, mutual sympathy, love and marriage.

Official marriage today is not necessary, since relationships have become much freer. However, the word marriage should be understood as the fact that a woman and a man decided to start a family. The main purpose of a family, unless, of course, it is created in old age, is to give birth and raise children. Otherwise, it is not a family, but a partnership with other goals.

Based on disappointing statistics indicating a simply huge number of divorces (more than 50% of the number of marriages). It should be assumed that relationships between partners require additional regulation, since children born as a result of these relationships grow up and are brought up in single-parent families.

This entails their moral and material disadvantage. It doesn’t matter whether they were born in a civil marriage or a “legal” one. Children should not suffer. In fact, the state gets off with payments to single mothers, and those around them with sympathy, and this is at best. This is probably due to the following reasons:

  • The state is not interested in its future.
  • Society consists of a large number of unnecessary people.
  • The morality and personal responsibility of parents are at an extremely low level.

It is impossible to eliminate these causes at once, but it is possible and necessary to reduce their influence and partially neutralize them. The birth of a child, communicating with him, living next to him in the process of his formation as a person, growing up and becoming an independent person is great happiness. It is necessary to convey awareness of this fact to young people through the media, schools, and higher educational institutions and, at the same time, legislatively increase the degree of parental responsibility for the right and opportunity to experience such happiness.

It is enough to establish the need to obtain the right to conceive and give birth to a child only if the future father and mother undertake that the family will continue at least until the children reach the age of sixteen. The relationship is sealed by an agreement between the parents and the state. All the nuances of such an agreement must be thought out in detail and legally recorded.

Partners who deem it possible to ignore this regulation are deprived of the right to raise children and are taxed for life, in an amount depending on the state’s expenses for maintaining homes for orphans and assistance to large families. Of course, the law must also provide for possible special cases when a family breaks up due to the illness or death of one of the spouses.

Perhaps men and women will enter into alliances in order to take a child from an orphanage so that he grows up in a full-fledged family until he grows up. Or family-type orphanages will become widespread. Perhaps there is a need to reconsider the structure of the family and create it not on the basis of a union of two, but perhaps several people. A team is not always a bad thing; moreover, having an outside perspective makes it possible to find a non-trivial solution to a seemingly insoluble problem. After all, in families of wealthy people it is not uncommon to have nannies, housekeepers, housekeepers, housekeepers, and gardeners. Who said that these cannot be members of the same family, connected not by kinship, but by the common goal of housekeeping, raising children, communication, creativity and, of course, intimacy.

Something needs to change, because a person’s life is gradually turning from the highest value into a consumable item. And this is not happening for historical reasons. The reason is in ourselves, today. If we don’t start changing now, changes for the better will not come. It seems to me that we are too divided, closed and fixated.

The time has come for an active search for new forms of relationships, the goal of which will not be to invent new ways to achieve personal pleasure, but to develop creative potential, comprehension, self-awareness, and achieve harmony in relationships with others and nature. Moreover, children will be organically included in this process from birth. Is it really impossible to create such an environment? At least as part of an experiment with the participation of enthusiastic volunteers.

It is necessary that the child can absorb worldly wisdom through contact with many adults, and not just with his young, inexperienced parents. Of course, there are communities that are trying to build their lives differently. However, there is no systematic approach, which means that even if there is a positive result, it will simply be lost in time. Perhaps there is a need to explore more deeply the experience of people living within compact settlements. When children had specific parents, but were considered children of a clan, tribe, and every adult considered it his duty to look after them and share their experience.

In strong families, people rarely swear at each other, do not defend their rights and do not sort things out... Why? Because in such families everyone takes their place. And no one takes on other people’s roles or relieves themselves of their tasks. Agree that every organization must have someone main. And everyone should recognize and respect his leadership... Why do we think that in an ordinary family there should not be clear management?

No, this does not mean that the opinions of “non-main” family members are not taken into account. In any good organization, the boss takes care of his subordinates, convenes meetings... But in controversial situations the leader decides all issues. If this is not accepted, then every disagreement will be accompanied by bitter disputes and resentments. What for?

Who should be the leader in the family?

Today, a lot is written about roles in truly strong families. About the development of femininity. About gender differences... About energies... If you are not new to these issues, I won’t say anything new to you. However, I know exactly what else not everyone understands the importance of male leadership. Not all families have the man in charge. Not everyone can say that their husband or father is the undisputed head of the family.

Why should a man be in charge? Recent studies prove that this is how nature intended. That a man reveals his energy when he takes responsibility, protects and provides for his family. And also solves all important issues. I wrote more about masculine energy and how to promote its development in a husband in the article “”. A woman reveals her energy by supporting her husband, decorating her home and filling the world with her inner light. She shouldn't get involved in management. It is better for her to entrust this difficult task to a man.

However, modern women often deprive their husbands of any voting rights. Moreover, remove all responsibility from them and teach them to be passive. And then they complain that their husband is an absolute wimp. And they are forced to carry everything on themselves. On her fragile female shoulders, behind which a husband, a horse, and a burning house can hide.

At one of the seminars on building a strong family, I remembered one very precise example. If a woman needs her husband to nail a nail somewhere, then the worst thing she can do is find a hammer, find a nail, pull her husband off the couch and tell him how and where he should nail this nail. Then the man loses his energy. After all, he doesn’t need to decide anything, doesn’t need to think, doesn’t need to take responsibility... What should the woman do in the story with the nail? Just come to your husband and say: “Darling, such a misfortune happened to me... The painting fell, the old nail came off, I don’t know how to hang it back... Help me, please!” Then the man gets the opportunity to save his beloved wife! He himself looks for a hammer, looks for a nail and decides where and what to nail... However, husbands often respond to this: “Okay, find me a hammer and a nail, tell me where and what to nail, then I’ll do everything!” What does it mean? This means that the man used to being passive. And you have to work seriously before he starts doing anything and deciding for himself.

If you want to have a truly harmonious and strong family, you will need gradually shift responsibility onto his male shoulders. Gradually tell your husband: “Darling, it’s so difficult for me to do all this! Help me please! After all, you do everything so well!” And then admire and thank!

Yes, this work is not easy... But is it really possible to carry the whole family on yourself for the rest of your life? After all, you want him to be next to you strong and responsible man, and not a big child lazily obeying your orders? About how to ask your husband for help with household chores.

Love yourself! And build your strong family!

The dream of a marriage that is “made in heaven” is completely unrealistic; Any stable relationship between a man and a woman needs to be constantly worked on, built and rebuilt, constantly updating them through mutual personal development.
Family is the most important thing in the world. If you don't have a family, consider that you have nothing. Family is the strongest bond of your life.
Johnny Depp

Family plays a huge role in the success of any person. And in most cases, it becomes the most valuable gift of fate for each of us. So what is family, what is it like?

What is a family: definition

A family is a group of people based on blood or marriage. This is a small group whose members are connected by a commonality of life (the established order of everyday life), mutual assistance, obtaining sexual pleasures (for husband and wife), giving birth and raising children.

This includes: mutual support among family members; the presence of material and moral community: there are no “I”s in the family, there are “we”.

The definition of family is also given in family law: a family is a group of persons bound by property and non-property responsibilities and rights arising from kinship, marriage or adoption. A “full family” in the legal sense consists of a father, mother and child (or children). “Incomplete family” - a father with a child (or children) or a mother with a child (or children).

A successful marriage is a building that needs to be reconstructed every day.
A. Maurois

Marriage is an agreement, the terms of which are reviewed and reaffirmed daily.
B. Bardo

Here are the main characteristics of a family:

  1. Cohabitation;
  2. presence of common children (in most cases);
  3. mutual support among family members;
  4. the presence of material and moral community;
  5. Mental, spiritual and emotional intimacy of its members.
  6. Closedness, interpersonal intimacy.
  7. The duration of the relationship, responsibility for each other, duty to each other.

Main functions of the family:

  1. The birth of offspring, raising children, self-realization of parental feelings.
  2. Satisfying sexual needs, obtaining sexual pleasure.
  3. Economic benefits for family members; meeting the material needs of family members, increasing the well-being of both the family and its individual members.
  4. Restoration of physical and intellectual strength. It's like an aquarium where you can swim in a warm, relaxing atmosphere.
  5. Satisfying the needs for sympathy, respect, recognition, support, emotional protection, love and admiration.
  6. Joint leisure activities and spiritual enrichment of each other.

Family = not Seven + Me, but WE

That family is strong
Where there is no possession of the letter "I"
Where only the word “we” rules
Where there are joint dreams.
© Mother Teresa

There are four types of married couples:

  • you and I equals You;
  • you and I equals I;
  • you and I equals We;
  • you and I equals You and Me.

This is largely determined by the rules of a game such as “family” accepted between people, members of such a family.

It's worth reminding: Relationships are a choice and responsibility of both people. This is a choice - to be or not to be, and if to be, then how.

In life, it turns out that in order to get something, you have to work hard. Sometimes it’s easy to ask, and sometimes you just invest.

We put a lot of effort into satisfying our needs for food, a roof over our heads, and financial security. And in order to satisfy your needs for love, for human warmth, for tenderness, care, affection, emotional, spiritual and physical intimacy..? Who is responsible for keeping us fed, satisfied and happy? Whose responsibility is this?

Mom and dad, or maybe His or Her? An adult is responsible for meeting his own needs..

Now, let's look at the “Me plus Me” family and the “We” family - these are two different family models.

Family "I+I"

The “I+I” family is when partners each live their own lives, still take care of themselves first and foremost and value their personal freedom. Or rather, independence. And to be more honest, by your freedom from the other.

I respect your territory - don’t get into my territory. Fine? Well, that’s great, let me kiss you, honey!

The “I + I” family is a transaction between two individuals, mutual use: you for me, I for you.

Usually, the I+I model is based on the belief that a man initially has his own masculine interests, and a woman can only be there temporarily. Or a woman needs her own (for example, a child), and a man is needed only as a source of money (status, reliability, the role of a father or other important moments in life).

Each of us needs our own, but being together and nearby is more profitable for us than living separately.

One of the signs of the I+I family is the desire to have an alternate airfield: just in case.

"WE" family

What's happened "WE" family? This is a relationship between two people when all participants in such a relationship become as if one whole.

This is not some final state. We can say that the more ideal a family or couple is, the more WE they are, and not I+I+I...

This can be thought of as a scale.

On the one hand, family members can feel absolutely “ON THESELF.” This is not a very high level family. Very close to living alone. You look at the world, make decisions only from the position of “I”, without particularly considering the interests of other family members. You can’t really count on the support of another member of such a family.

On the other hand, you feel like you are part of “WE”. You have the feeling that you are part of a community called “FAMILY”. You look at the world as part of a family; in your decisions you think about other family members and take into account their interests. You know that you can count on the support of other family members, but you yourself are ready to provide such support if necessary. It’s as if you are all members of your family at the same time.

And between these sides there are many intermediate states.

Family is not seven I, it’s WE

Divorce is out of the question, so we have two options:
either shoot yourself or learn to negotiate

The essence of the WE family: taking care of both of us, ourselves and you, our couple. We were separate, but we became together, we became a couple: you become part of me, I become part of you. “You and I are one.”

In "WE": You and I are one, a continuation of each other. In the WE family there may be elements of a transaction, but its basis is different: the couple lives by faith in love, in the fact that the other can take care of you as if he were taking care of himself.

The “WE” family type suits few people. It is only suitable for:

  • who exactly wants a family like this? In reality there are not very many of them.
  • who believes in the possibility of such a family. Young people often believe in such a family until they try to move on from romantic fairy tales and “blah-blah” to action.
  • to those who can handle such a family, who have the personal strength to build such a family.

The “WE” family is a significantly more complex construction than the “I+I” family. Only mature people with life experience and wisdom can really do it.

From a man it requires the ability to be the head of the family, from a woman - a willingness to support her husband’s decisions. And both of them should think first not about their own interests, but about the interests of the family.

But if a couple, or at least one in a couple, cannot cope with the WE relationship, controversial and simply crooked options for the WE relationship appear.

Family structure

Family shares things like dreams, hopes, memories, smiles, sadness and joy. A family is a clan that is held together by the glue of love and held together by the cement of mutual respect. It is a refuge from the storm; a friendly port when the waves of life get too big and rough. This cannot be understood unless you are a member of the family.

There are many types of families with different organization:

  • A monogamous family differs from a polygamous family in that, as a rule, it consists of two partners. While in a polygamous family, one of the spouses can have several marriage partners at once.
  • Families can vary in the number of children and are divided into several types: childless family; one-child family (1 child); small family (1-2 children); medium-sized family (3-4 children); large family (from 5 children);
  • In modern society, the nuclear family is most common. What is a nuclear family? A nuclear family consists of one married couple with or without children. A complex family includes several generations (grandfathers, grandmothers, sisters and their husbands, brothers and their wives, nephews, etc.)
  • Young family. A family can be considered young if it meets the following parameters: the age of the spouses must be from 18 to 30 years; the marriage must be entered into for the first time, and the duration of marriage must not exceed 3 years.
  • A Swedish family is a family in which three people (two of whom are of the same sex) live together. At the same time, relationships between partners can be different and do not always involve joint sex.

There is one very important observation. It is important that both family members clearly understand which of them is the leader in the family. It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, but they both understand who it is.

If the leader in the family is a man, then the family, according to some observations, is happier. Perhaps this has something to do with the historical distribution of roles in the family and with physiology, and specifically with the production of testosterone - the male hormone.

Family resources: their types

The husband forgives everything while the total value thanks to his wife increases rapidly.
Elena Ermolova

To meet the needs of family members, it is necessary to have certain resources.

Family resources are material, monetary and production means, opportunities, values ​​and sources of income.

There are several types of resources:

  • Family traditions are the usual norms, behavior patterns, customs and views accepted in the family that are passed on from generation to generation.
  • Material resources. Includes any real estate, household appliances and vehicles.
  • Labor resources. They mean family members with their ability to run the household.
  • Financial resources. Includes money, securities, bank accounts, etc.
  • Technological resources. Repair technology, cooking technology, etc. are used.

A family can be compared to a company. Some companies have great financial and technological potential and can make a big impact on lives. Being part of such a company is very comfortable and pleasant. But we must remember that such companies were not built right away.

But some families are like bankrupt companies. Being part of them means eternal losses, hassle, losses and a complete lack of prospects. But, again, these companies were created this way and their bankruptcy state is constantly maintained.

Psychological climate of the family

What words you use to call your wife and children is how they will be for you in life. First of all, don't call them "Dear"!
Stas Yankovsky

Psychological climate is a more or less stable emotional mood characteristic of a particular family, which arises from the mood of family members, their emotional experiences and worries, attitudes towards each other, towards other people, towards work, towards surrounding events. A good emotional atmosphere in the family ensures the stability of the marriage.

The psychological climate in the family determines the stability of intrafamily relationships. It is created and can change. Each family member creates this climate and whether it will be favorable or unfavorable depends on these efforts. And how long will the marriage last?

A favorable psychological climate is characterized by: cohesion, the possibility of comprehensive development of everyone’s personality, high, benevolent demands of family members towards each other, a sense of security and emotional satisfaction, pride in belonging to one’s family, and responsibility. In such a family, each member treats the others with love, respect and trust, and also treats the parents with reverence, and is ready to help the weaker at any moment. Important indicators of a favorable psychological climate of a family are the desire of its members to spend free time in the home circle, talk about topics that interest everyone, do homework together, and emphasize the virtues and good deeds of everyone. Such a climate promotes harmony, reduces the severity of emerging conflicts, relieves stress, increases the assessment of one’s own social significance and realizes the personal potential of each family member. The initial basis for a favorable family climate is marital relationships. Living together requires spouses to be willing to compromise, to be able to take into account the needs of their partner, to give in to each other, and to develop such qualities as mutual respect, trust, and mutual understanding.

When family members experience anxiety, emotional discomfort, and alienation, in this case they speak of an unfavorable psychological climate in the family. All this prevents the family from performing one of its main functions - relieving stress and fatigue, and also leads to depression, quarrels, mental tension, and a lack of positive emotions. If family members do not strive to change this situation for the better, then the very existence of the family is threatened.

Family and child

The main idea and goal of family life is raising children. The main school of education is the relationship between husband and wife, father and mother.

The family plays a particularly important role in a child’s life. When we grow up, we often leave our parents' nest in order to improve our own lives and eventually create our own family. But by this time we had already received from our parents everything we needed to decide to set off on our own.

Education. Looking at our parents, we learn not only to repeat the simplest actions after them, but also to interact with the world around us. As children, dad and mom teach us how to hold a fork correctly or how to brush our teeth. And then, sometimes without realizing it, from the example of our parents we learn how to behave with other people: with the opposite sex, with friends, with annoying neighbors, etc.

Moral support. A person who has a family will never be lonely. Of course, relationships within families are different for everyone. But if you grow up in a normal, loving family, you can always count on support from your loved ones. They will console you and help you with advice, and if necessary, with action.

Economic support. Up to a certain point, a person cannot provide for himself independently, and throughout our childhood we are supported by our parents. This is done not only by people, but also by animals who take care of their offspring until they reach a certain age. What distinguishes people from animals is that this process is usually reciprocal. After you grow up and get on your feet, you begin to help your parents both financially, mentally and physically. As a person ages, he becomes more and more like a child who needs help with everything. It’s not for nothing that people say that he is old and that he is small. In this matter, a lot depends on upbringing.

Family and parents

Family is the most important thing in life. You may have good days, you may have bad days, but in the evening of every day someone will be waiting for you at home.

If we talk about what the family gives to parents, then the question arises of why people have children. What a family gives a person is clear. Family is a safe haven where they will understand you, help you and listen to you. This is why most people get married and start families. But why have children? If we do not take into account the fact that reproduction is a natural process that is characteristic of all living beings and is the basis for the development and existence of the species, then we can say that the birth of children serves several purposes:

  • it is a symbol of the love of two lovers who see its embodiment in children;
  • this is a way to unite the family and try themselves in a new role;
  • Children, no matter how selfish and selfish it may sound, often serve to embody the ideas, desires and aspirations of their parents, which they themselves were unable to realize.

The role of family in society

Any social doctrine that attempts to destroy the family is worthless and, moreover, inapplicable. The family is the crystal of society.
Hugo V.

Family interests almost always destroy public interests.
Bacon Francis

The family is the oldest and most durable institution of family relationships, which has existed for many centuries. What the family gives to society:

  • In families, knowledge and traditions accumulated by previous generations are passed on. When there was no written language and all knowledge was passed on, as they say, by word of mouth, only parents were able to pass on to their children the knowledge that they acquired from their own experience. They, in turn, preserved and increased this knowledge, passing it on to their children. This is how progress moved.
  • Children who grow up in healthy families are more emotionally stable and balanced, they have a very good basis for further development.

Family happiness

The secret of family happiness: a woman should make it pleasant for a man to come home, and a man should make it pleasant for a woman to meet him.

To create a solid foundation in the family, you need to work on yourself and develop the necessary qualities. They will help you survive both the ups and downs together.
