IS HAVING A FAMILY REALLY IMPORTANT

We often underestimate the importance of family and for most of us it important to have some sense of belonging. It is equally important to know your history and your ancestors as it is very effective to one’s future. That is where family comes in, we tend to take family for granted until they are no more and then we start to fill the void they left. Some leave us with great responsibilities to fill and so many unanswered questions. Majority of the society, particularly Christians associate ancestors with witchcraft and deem them as unholy but that is not the case. In this article we educate ourselves on the importance of family.

HISTORY

Because Church members believe that families are forever, they seek to identify generations of relatives through family history work. By discovering where your family came from, who your ancestors were, and what motivated them, you learn about your core family values, and you build a bridge connecting you to your ancestors.

WHY DO YOU NEED FAMILY

The purpose is to create a safe, stable, and loving environment where a husband and wife can support and strengthen each other and where children can learn, grow, and develop. Often, a family shares the same sense of purpose. Family life is perhaps most significant for children. It is in the home that children learn to love others, show compassion, build trust, and express loyalty.

The family is also a crucial building block of society. Strong marriages and families help maintain a prosperous society  as they contribute hard-working and well-educated individuals.

FAMILIES ARE FOREVER

A family’s importance extends beyond mortal life. We highly value the promise that families can be together forever. Family structure began with God. God is your Heavenly Father, and you are His child. You live with your family now, and we believe that even after you and your family members pass on, you can live together again in heaven.

BUILDING YOUR OWN STRONG FAMILY

Having strong families requires effort, both from parents and kids. Fathers and mothers must work together closely to raise their children. They should act as equal partners while fulfilling the many different roles that come with parenthood. The success of a family depends on that partnership.
