There are so many individuals in the world. Every one of them belongs or belonged to a family, at some time in their life. There are some families, like joint families that are close-knit. They have the older generations living with them under one roof. There are those nuclear families with two children and a mother and father. At the same time, some friends come together and form a family unit. Over the centuries and the last few decades, the concept of family has evolved and changed. The family is the basic unit of society.
Every member of a family is special. The family unit is like a mini version of human society. The family goes through life, with all its ups and downs. A united family has weathered the storms of life and yet they stand together through thick and thin. What would it tell you about the family? It would tell me that the family is emotionally strong. It would also tell me that although life has been tough it is the loving relationship between the members of the family, that has helped them to remain united.
There are those families that have every meal together and that pray together. There is a quote that says that “The family that prays together, stays together”. In most instances this is true. However, some families do not eat meals together or pray together, but they are united by the bonds developed between every member of the family. The glue that holds a family together is the love that they have for one another.
