Family Ties - Building A Strong Family

Marriage and Family

Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted. ~Paul Pearshall

Out of everyone in life we have a tendency to take family for granted the most. We assume family will always be here, family understands what we don’t say, or that love is guaranteed. These are all myths.

The only fact about family is that you share the same DNA. Family just like other relations must be cultivated. Every family has its own rhythm and culture. Recognize what makes your love grow and do more of it.
