Why does the relationship between the Mother and Father affect the rest of the family? The world that we live in today makes it seem that the relationship you have with your spouse isn't important, and it doesn't affect the family as a whole. As we are seeing in the world today that when a marrige falls apart, so does a family. I have witnessed families who there parents are in the process of getting a divorce and the kids truly start to fall apart because there is no focus on them, therefore there family starts to fall apart. Even in our own families we notice the difference when Mom and Dad are arguing versus when they are not. When you and your spouse are getting along things tend to run smoother and get done in a happier way. When everyone within a family is getting along there is no contention or arguments. The more we are contentious the more on edge and irritable we are towards one another. The family is meant to be united and filled with happiness and joy. Every family is different and not always picture perfect, but that doesn't mean we can't strive to continue to draw our family closer rather than apart. We all have things we have to go through, and it can be rocky, but rather than turning away from each other you should turn towards each other. Being married is the most rewarding thing you will ever experience, but it can be really hard. When you are married you need to let the little things go and not focus on the negative feelings. If you and your spouse can work through those arguments and let them go it will help your relationship along with your families relationship. When you have a very strong relationship with your spouse it makes it easier to go through those hard trails you are faced with. It is so sad to watch relationships fall apart. My family has some family friends who have been married for over 20 years, and over the last few years their marrige has started to fall apart. They have recently split up. As I have watched this all take place I have noticed the family hasn't necessarily fallen apart, but has definitely struggled. You got married because you fell in love with this person because they complete you, make you a better person, love you for you, and give you a light that is hard to describe. It is important to remind yourself why you fell in love with your person. You will argue and disagree for countless reasons, but those disagreements should not break you relationship. I am not saying my marrige is perfect in any way, but my husband make it a goal to let go of those disagreements and not let them break that strong connection we have. As we practice this now it will help us prepare to build a strong family. I want to have a strong family who won't fall apart when things get tough. I want a family that even when things get hard, we still come back to each other. God has given us families because they bring happiness. God has given us our eternal companions to have forever happiness. We should not let these things that bring us happiness fall apart. It is so hard for me to sit back and see people that I love let there marriages and families fall apart. It is important to keep your family together because they will be by your side forever. Having a family is such a gift, and we should never take them for granted.
