Common family problems may arise to challenge the family strengths in times when solutions are not so feasible. The characteristics of a good family are enormous hence, every family consists of one or more imperfect people with questionable behaviour which comes with the fact that no matter how real they appear, we are never going to find a perfect family.
Nevertheless, these imperfections does not totally translate that every family is not entitled to live a happy and good life. There should always be a moment of laughter and happiness in the family and all members should have a sound health too.
Healthy family: The ideal family traits and practices
Note of encouragement: I have come to realize that families who considers utilizing the below 10 characteristics can soon improve to a healthier and happier family.
1. Commitment.
Having a sense of commitment and a belief towards facilitating the overall family growth and well-being of every members in the family.
2. Appreciation.
Showing gratitude for the large and every little things done to encourage each other to do more.
3. Patience.
The ability to tolerate others behaviour so as to encourage peace. Having the patience to manage the awkward situations without complaining.
4. Trust.
Your commitment to the family as stated above in #1 encouraged your partner to trust you. Home are easily broken when the feeling of trust is no more. Especially when you failed to do the things you have promised to do. Your inability to meet up to certain challenges should be properly stated before hand.
5. Concentration.
Showing concern to the other feelings. Making their worries your priority as you proved solutions. Showing the willingness to listen when they have something to say creates a feeling of love and not being neglected.
6. Self-control.
You want to ensure you nourish a happy home by practising the self-control technique. You want to be able to stabilize your anger in time of discomfort in order to preach peace.
7. Encouragement.
How much you are able to push and motivate the other to be persistent in doing the right thing. Giving them the basic courage to rise again after previous unsuccessful attempt. Families who encourage themselves can easily thrive through difficulties. The kind of encouragement that permeates the feelings and basis of “going on” in good and tough times.
8. Communication.
The ability to make your worries and satisfactions known to one another. Deep communication that emphasize positive interaction to keep the bond fresh.
9. Creativity.
Your ability develop and invent unique strategies to handling different life events. Having the potential to manage problems from series of unpredictable life challenges and meeting up with options which turns out to be positive.
10. Keeping rules.
The mother of them all. Every family is expected to have some “un-authoritative” list of rules. A polished set of values and beliefs which are expected to be kept by family members. These rules are not supposed to be coercive in nature but are meant to be respected.
Having met the criterion for the 10 solid characteristics of a happy family, you are hereby welcomed into a perfect family. These are simple guides to learn and improve to having a healthier and most ideal family.
