It is the one place in our life where we can receive unconditional acceptance for just being us. Even at the most difficult times, the family is the place where we can be forgiven, accepted and given a fresh start. Families accept even the loud aunt, the crazy uncle, the selfish brother, the arrogant sister, and all family members, just because they are family members. Strong families share common traits; they are committed to making family life work, they communicate, they forgive and accept each other, they expect and resolve problems creatively, they express love and appreciation for each other, and they actively maintain spiritual commitments. , Families are very important because they offer a place to love and be loved unconditionally.
