Family is where your home is and home is where you feel comforted, understood and taken care of. That’s why comes the importance of having a good family life as our family is supposed to provide us that comfort and understanding but in today’s urbane world families have become nuclear and there is very less meaningful interaction that actually takes place in between the family members. Family members nowadays are themselves busy in their own lives. Even on the dining tables when they sit they are busy talking with their friend on the phone rather than the person who is sitting in person in front of them. That’s not healthy even in our own homes we have become lonely for it doesn’t matter the no. of people that are present in front of us rather what actually matters is the no. of people who actually understand us in a room filled with people. Thus to overcome this loneliness I have mentioned below the 5 Secrets through which you can Have a Happy Family Life and thus can improve the overall quality of your life in general too.

1. Do Things Together

The foremost reason our family bonds are not great is because we have become as individuals living in a home. Unless and until we let down our guards and be vulnerable and earn each other’s mutual respect no good bond can be formed. To begin with, you can plan to do things together like playing a game together or going for a movie together or going on a family trip. Anything that brings you all together and involves mutual understanding, do that as the best gift that you can give to each other is your time and attention.

2. Avoid Finding Faults

It’s quite natural to expect a lot from your family as they are the ones who were supposed to be our closest ones and so comes the chance of them of not living up to your expectations as a bond is not defined by how compatible you are with each other rather it is defined by how understanding you are to accept each other differences and so there comes the role of being understanding and not demanding and telling each other that no matter what you will always be there for each other as you consider them a part of you and not apart from you. Not only children but parents also need understanding and compassion from their children to remember that.

3. Don’t take each other for granted

Many times in our family we take each other for granted as if they were sent on earth to serve us unconditionally. It doesn’t happen that way. Know that your parents are not your servants neither your children are your toys don’t expect them to behave that way, don’t take each other for granted. Respect and treat each other as a person. Know that these feelings are subtle and many times due to shyness we don’t show affection which ruins the bond. Create a comfortable environment at your home that allows everyone to open up with each other.

4. Celebrate small events

Be it getting a good grade at your school or a promotion in your office celebrate it with your family so that the person feels important and encouraged and most importantly feel loved. These small acts of affection are more important than the bigger ones. As in the bigger ones, it is obvious to celebrate but to take care of the small ones shows how much you actually care for them.

5. Live up to the promises

In a family what really matters is keeping the promises that you have made. Be it giving a gift to your child or promising to study for your exams do that, if not for you but for them, do that because the other person means something to you. Do that because you care. Don’t be unfeeling towards each other act as if you don’t care. It affects them both psychologically and creates a subconscious fear that they will break their promises next time too and so thus they will begin not to trust you.
