7 Secrets Of A Happy Family (Part 2)

-

3. MUTUAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER: In every family where there is mutual respect for each other, fighting and quarreling is reduced to the barest minimum. In any family where there is mutual respect; abuse of all kind, tension and friction are drastically reduced. When a wife respects her husband and a husband respects his wife and the children also respect their parents and vice vassal, there is usually mutual understanding and peace and happiness becomes a normal way of life.

4. SPENDING TIME TOGETHER: Time is one of the world most valuable assets. With the quest for money and fat bills to pay, married couples spend less time with their spouses and children. They have replace quality time with each other with TV, DVD and video games. Married couples travel extensively, work late into the night and come back fagged out, only to eat and go to bed. Repeat the same circle for weeks, months and years doing the same thing over and over again, while the family suffers. A lot people to supplement time for money, cars, gifts, electronics, etc. unfortunately, time has no substitute. We must find time to be together, if we want to stay together. A family that stays together live in harmony and a family that live in harmony enjoy peace and happiness.
If there is one thing a child or spouse love and value most, it's the time they spend with their parents and spouse. Most children and wives complain that their husbands and fathers hardly have time for them and this makes them very unhappy.
I was watching wrestling the other day, Ted DiBiasi, a WWE superstar slapped his father in the face. His reason was because according to him; his father never had time for him when he was growing up. You can imagine how he has felt all these years about his dad.
I want to point out that we can never find time for family unless we create time for them. I know that we are in an age where every second is very precious. But nothing can be so precious than our family. If we must have a happy home, we must create time to be together with the family...

Life is full of so many hopeless conditions. There are lots of people who are today in seemly hopeless situations. Hopelessness in getting married. hopelessness in getting a job. Hopelessness in completing a project. Hopelessness in a relationship. Hopelessness all around.  There are some problems in life that looks as if you are passing through fire.

No matter the challenge you are facing, there is still hope!  My wife shared a story of a lady in her village, who had a seemingly hopeless situation. As a child she took ill and her parents took her to a native doctor who gave her some herbs. Unfortunately, the herbs destroyed her organs. She was taken to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor discovered that her womb was badly affected and the only way to save her life was to remove her womb. When she grew up, she w

The Power Of Love

For any family to stick together, love is a very important ingredient. Love is what holds the family together. In times of trouble and difficulty, love prevails.  In any family where there is love; peace, harmony and happiness is usually enjoyed. Some people think that money can bring happiness in a home. In as much as money is very important, it can't buy happiness. It can buy beautiful houses but not a happy home. It can buy food but not appetite. It can buy good cars but not a happy home. Money can buy latest electronic gadgets but not a happy home. I've seen real wealthy families get divorced. Money wasn't the issue there. They were not happy in the marriage so they thought; the best bet is to break up. Some years ago, I heard about a wealthy man whose wife slept with their gardener. Such things happen every day all around the world. Many marriages today are ending up in divorce and children are running away from home mainly because they are not happy at ho

Once in a while, we all get knocked down in one area of our life or the other. Our struggle in life is such that some times we win, while other times we lose. There are times we are down in our health, finance, spirituality, job, marriage, family, emotion, relationships, business, e.t.c. It is not our being knocked down that is really the problem but our attitude when we are down. There are people who become hopeless, frustrated, depressed and afraid to try to get up again, when they are knocked down.  Your being knocked down does not mean that you are finished. It does not mean that you are a failure. It is not the end of the road. It only means that you are not perfect. It only means that you are not there yet. The devil is a liar! I have good news for you. "You can rise again!” The Bible says, "For the righteous man may fall seven times and rise again"(Proverbs 24:32). I don't know the area of your life where you've been knocked down. It might be in y
