Traditional family: what awaits it in the future?

What is a traditional family today? Most likely, such a question would not have been relevant twenty years ago. Why does it not cause even surprise on the faces of others today? Let's understand.

First of all, it becomes curious that the answers of people who were asked this question turned out to be different. Let's turn to the terminology, to the decoding of the concept of "family". The definition sounds something like this: "A group of close (by blood or documented) relatives who are connected by common living space and emotional attachment."

And note that in this interpretation, the so-called emotional connection, that is, love, affection, is stressed. Agree, if a son is married and does not already live with his parents, this does not mean that he ceased to be a member of their family. After all, they still love each other. However, he also had certain obligations to his wife, because she, too, is his family. So does it turn out that he already has two?

The traditional family now implies the union of a man and a woman, as a result of which the offspring appear.

Let's talk about how it all starts. First there are feelings that unite two people. Beginning to live together, there is such a thing as life, which in many ways can violate the iridescent ideas of husband and wife about living together. It is not without reason that there is a proverb: "A family boat broke about life." Not everyone is ready for such scams, because it turns out that one love for the family is not enough. In American films, in which there is a wedding scene, they pronounce oaths "in sorrow and in joy, in sickness and health ...", etc. That is, people will be with each other until someone thinks that he is "enough" already. And then the traditional family ends with a very widespread divorce today. Note that in the past, the percentage of divorced and confined marriages was in favor of the latter. Today, the number of broken families increases.

In general, as practice shows, all people in different ways imagine their future family. Someone dreams of a prince, someone about a rich and wealthy husband, someone about a mistress and a lot of children. But not everyone understands that the definition of a family for everyone should begin with love and respect. And these feelings are a priori mutual. Life, unfortunately, very much darkens the bright and colorful dreams of many guys and girls. It is important not to succumb to this and find a positive even in everyday trivialities.

Habit is a great power. We get used to seeing the same thing, because it does not impress us. To be able to paint gray in bright colors is an art that needs to be learned.

In addition, there are many problems that often lead to divorce. They can relate to both interpersonal relationships and social problems.

Many psychologists argue that the traditional family in the conditions of rapid development of society and increase the number of problems and temptations begins to lose the ability to listen and hear the interlocutor, a close person. Unfortunately, we often do not have enough time for our relatives, because they are already around, they can wait, there are more important things to do.

Here is the motto of the famous Scarlett O'Hara: "I'll think about it tomorrow." But after all, "tomorrow" next to this person may not come. Remember that mutual respect and understanding will help to recreate those former relationships if you do not already see them in your union. However, as wise people have justly observed, the family is a work. Nobody said it was easy. However, our emotional state is worth it. After all, it's easier to break than to try and connect some shabby threads. Create heavier than destroy. So let's not look for easy ways. This is the destiny of the weak.
