Home, a simple word, is the softest place in everyone’s heart.
It’s like a warm harbor. When you’re tired from running on your life’s journey, it can quickly recharge you, giving you the courage to set out again.
“The harmonious atmosphere of a family is a flower in the world. Nothing is gentler than it, nothing knows better how to cultivate the character of a family to be strong and upright. The true happiness and joy of life are steeped in close-knit family relationships.”
A harmonious family brings prosperity. But running a family isn’t easy. It takes effort from every member.
If family members are united, pulling together as one, the family will often be built better and better.
But if family members aren’t united, if they’re like a pile of sand, the family will often start to decline.
A family that suddenly shows these three signs is often at the beginning of decline.
Marital Discord, Spouses Fighting for Divorce
Whether a family is harmonious affects the happiness of its members.
Husband and wife are often the two walls that support the family.
If the couple’s relationship is not harmonious, they often fight for divorce. If their hearts can’t stick together firmly, the family will often be difficult to manage well.
“Equality between husband and wife is the foundation for creating a happy family. In a family, whether it is male dominance or female dominance, there cannot be harmony, happiness, and fulfillment in the marital relationship.”
When a couple fights for divorce, the two main pillars of the marriage are both too preoccupied to manage the family. Even if the family’s conditions are good, if the couple doesn’t work together, the family will gradually fall apart.
Marital breakdown not only affects a person’s career development but also affects the development of a family, especially the impact on children, which is immeasurable.
When a couple doesn’t love each other, they often argue and have cold wars. This will create a bad atmosphere at home.
Everywhere will be filled with pain and coldness. Over time, the marriage will eventually break down, and the family will eventually fall apart.
Unfilial Children, Comfortably Living off Their Parents
Home brings warmth, courage, and a sense of happiness to every family member.
Of course, any member of the family can cause the family to fall apart. Running a family requires everyone in the family to make an effort to maintain it.
Unfilial children who comfortably live off their parents are a failure of parenting.
On the road to their children’s growth, parents who spoil their children too much will lay the groundwork for the family’s decline later. This is because the way a family educates its children has a significant impact on the family’s future.
If parents overprotect their children on their growth path, it will lead to children developing a strong sense of dependence, which will stop them from growing.
Dependent children who aren’t independent often easily develop the habit of “living off their parents.”
When children develop the habit of “living off their parents,” they will become unmotivated, unable to maintain financial independence, and unable to shoulder the burdens and responsibilities of life.
Children who have never experienced hardship are often not filial to their parents.
Moreover, if children aren’t independent, they will consume their parents’ finances for a long time, living off their savings. Over time, even the largest family fortune will be squandered.
Bad Family Values, Incorrect Values
Family values are a family’s calling card. If a family’s values are not right, it will inevitably affect the family members’ values and worldview.
If a person’s values are not right, it will affect their personal development and also the development of the family.
With the improvement of living standards, many people are blinded by material desires, establishing wrong values. Their words and actions lack cultivation and good qualities.
If a person’s values are incorrect, not only will their own image be damaged, but they will also set a negative example for other family members. Bad family values gradually corrupt the character and cultivation of family members.
Good family values are a family’s most valuable asset.
Good family values are a tradition that can unite family members and also restrain a person to become a better person.
Good family values can not only cultivate excellent children but also allow the family to move step by step toward a better future.
However, if family values are not right, and values are not right, the foundation of the family will gradually become loose, eventually leading to the family’s decline.
“All happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
The essence of a family is a cooperative relationship. It requires every family member to use their abilities, work together, and cooperate.
Couples should get along harmoniously. When dealing with children, they should help them establish correct values and cultivate good family values. This is how to make a family happy for a long time.
A harmonious family is one where individuals develop while respecting other family members. Everyone works together, and the future will be full of blessings.
On the journey of life, running a family requires the joint efforts of family members. When a family shows signs of decline, be sure to reflect on yourself, find the problem, correct it in time, and avoid worse situations from happening.
