The Secret To A Good Family

How do you keep a good family together? Well, I believe the same works in relationships. Time is money, so don’t waste it? Know what you want and go for it.

The divorce rate? You hear all the time about relationships gone sour and they don’t know what happened. You hear about domestic violence and child abuse. You hear about separations due to irreconcilable differences. By the time you need a marriage counselor, it is often too late and on top of all that, Daily thousands of people are getting married or entering into new relationships. Let's see personal hygiene?

Then there are all the phony relationships you see. On the outside these partners/people appear to be so in love, but behind closed doors, it’s just the opposite. It is amazing at what people will do to give the impression that everything is great in their relationship. The question is, with whom? That's the problem, this is why most relationships go sour, they start out following the wrong people, with low values or we are spin-offs of bad relationships.

Most breakups are due to financial problems and then there is cheating. Other relationships lose their spice of life. Many never notice the subtle changes in their spouse. We take too much for granted. We make maintaining good wholesome relationships too complicated. Too often we live according to the expectations of others and forget our own. We blame everybody else for our own mistakes - Personal hygiene.

Relationships are a spiritual quest. They are an expression of the love in your heart. Before embarking upon them, you need to make sure you and your partner are aligned spiritually, whatever that is to you. You need to do everything you possibly can so both will understand that. Then instead of changes breaking you up, they will only bring you closer.

How do you learn your partner spiritually? Just as you learn to take care of yourself. Personal hygiene of the utmost. Create and maintain a good clean environment for yourself and any potential partners and that is work. Practice good personal hygiene skills and that will save on a bunch of illnesses. Talk about where you are now and where you want to be. Talk about death, injuries and illnesses. Discuss backup plans.

On our spiritual quest, there are six senses and seven deadly sins, learn to openly address them. Then, there is the ability to work together. Too often, after committing to our partners, we get lazy, but to maintain a good healthy wholesome relationship, you must be sharp. If you are working together, where is the room to cheat? Keep in mind we are not trying to be control freaks. All we are doing is keeping our lives full with constructive things to do. Too often we have jobs and are tired when we come home. Please, don’t let that be your excuse, that is,,,,if you value your relationship. I have a saying, If the President can maintain his relationship, with his busy schedule, you are not half as busy, so why do you sacrifice yours for being tired. Don’t be afraid of work. Any family or relationship worth having is hard/smart work. Work is how you learn each other, respect each other, keep the spice of life and set goals for your future.

Focus in on yourself and your family, for they are the most important things to you. Don’t get caught trying to live like the Jone’s or thinking the grass is greener on the other side. As long as your family is happy, everything will fall in place. If your family is not the best then whose is? You have to take care of your family.

Now, here you go::: The key to keeping a good family together is “love, good food and entertainment”. That will help ease the stress, because problems are not going to disappear. Show them how to handle their problems. Make it interesting and fun. Keep them coming back for more. Prove it to them that you can do it. Prove to them that you have their best interest at heart. Some may call it tough love.

Get those priorities in order and the rest is downhill. Afterwards, you will be surprised at what family and love ones can do. A family that prays together, eats together, works together, stays together. How could it be otherwise? Build together! Share it! Pass it on! Pay it forward and invite good families into your life.

It all starts with you. How much time are you willing to invest? Personal Relationships?
