Why is Family Important?

There are set guidelines as to what a family considers important and what must be done by each individual family member. In my opinion, basic things are considered important for making a family happy. The first concept is love.  In actuality, the whole concept of a family is based on love. Family members are concerned about each other’s well-being only because they love each other.   Without love, a family would cease to exist.

Then, there is trust, understanding and devoting makes a family exsist. If you do not have such feeling towards your family members, the family will never be a group of closely-bonded people; rather it would be a group of individuals living together just because they have no other choice.

Last, but not the least, the happiness of a family is based on cooperation by its members. In absence, you can hardly expect your family to be a place where you get peace and comfort. 

So why is my family so important to me??

The simple answer to the question is that my family played a huge role in shaping my personality. A family; like mine, loving and caring, makes life feel like heaven, while an abusive family can make you see hell on earth.

Growing up, my parents made my whole family sit down to dinner every night. If we were not there or late there would be consequences. I do believe that is a big reason why were all so close.
