Great families are made, not born!

The 6 key qualities of great families:
  • Appreciation and Affection
    People in strong families deeply care for one another, and they let each other know this on a regular basis. They are not afraid to express their love.

  • Valuing Each Other and Demonstrating Commitment
    Members of strong families are dedicated to one another's well-being, investing time and energy in family activities.

  • Positive Communication
    Successful families talk to each other. They solve problems by talking to each other; they raise issues and they listen to each other.

  • Enjoy Getting Together
    A happy family is one that does things together, and that genuinely enjoys the times family members share with each other.
  • Spiritual Well-being
    A focus on what is sacred - the things that don’t change. We all need a strong ‘go-to’ place (this is God). We need to put God first. We need spiritual fire and well being to be successful in family life. Noah saved his family by being committed fully to God. You can save the world and your family.
  • Ability to Cope with Stress and Crisis
    Strong families are not immune to stress and crisis, but they are not as crisis-prone as troubled families tend to be. Rather, they possess the ability to manage both daily stressors and difficult life crises creatively and effectively. They know how to prevent trouble often before it happens, and how to work together to meet the inevitable challenges when they occur.
