Family togetherness
January 28th 2008 10:43
I think having a heading like this is rather ironic seeing as I don’t think too many people actually know the true meaning of family values. I mean, generally a basic family should consist of 4 people. The father, the mother, the son and the daughter. That’s what is commonly known as a common family really. But surprisingly, only 5% of families worldwide actually have that exact combination. It makes you wonder then, just what does it mean for that other 95%? Does it mean they are uncommon? Certainly not, I would think. Does it mean that they aren’t as well recognized as the 5%? I would hope not. There are many questions regarding that we need to ask ourselves as they may partially if not in full affect us at some point in our lives when we have kids. So, ask yourself this question. Would you rather be the 5% or the 95%?
Now as I just said common families generally consist of that. There are however cases in which mother and father just cannot continue. Its natural, it can happen to anyone and when it does its rather unfortunate and sad. Personally, my parents have been married for 20 years and it doesn’t look like its about to end. Some families aren’t as lucky though. For some it doesn’t last that long. It makes you wonder then, was there really any point in the first place? Did the couple actually love each other enough to marry in the first place? In the bible, God is trying to say that regardless of how much you can love another person, if the feeling you hold for them is not mutual or unnatural, then the relationship won’t work. Some couples last 5 years, others 10 years, some even last 50 years or more. All depends on the people and how much they really care. I’m not here to judge anyone in regards to how long they should stay in relationships after their married but I’d like to hope that in my generation, once a couple gets married, they would stay married. I certainly hope that’s the case with me.
I mean wouldn’t it feel weird having a mum and a dad and then all of a sudden, there’s a divorce and your forced to pick one and stay with them and only have visitation rights on certain days with the other one. Its sad really, I like seeing couples get married. It signifies the start of a new life really when you think about it, a union, and a holy union that is bound by mutual consent for the rest of your life. It’s really easy to break though as its seen with so many people. It must feel weird for young kids to have to go through that and then ask their mum or dad what happened. Why did it happen? What was the problem? Kids will ask lots of questions and it can be difficult to answer as it should be but that doesn’t mean that kids don’t have the right to know. I find it hard to believe that because some marriages get so bad, the parent who has custody of the kids does everything they can to keep their former spouse from having any contact with the kids. Its tough on them, I mean, they grew up with the kids, they played with them, gave their life to the kids, and that’s what happens. I think there isn’t a much lower level then that in family values. What about families who re-marry and then the kids become so accustomed to the man in the house, that they think their stepfather is actually their real father. That’s a load of nonsense and very slack on the person’s behalf. Almost a form of betrayal in my opinion, huge betrayal.
Well that’s it for family values, hopefully its helped you realize how important your family can be to you and the importance of retaining strong relationships with your parents but also making sure that your parents maintain a strong relationship with others. Because really, without family, you don’t have anything.
