Of course there so many ways to make our family the happiest., and there are not certain ways to follow as it changes case to case base. However there are some key things for sure if we apply on families we will start to notice changes, of course towards good).
And even though they’re no guarantee, they’re a good place start.
Here are my five ways might be useful for us:
1 ) Spend time together.
It’s easier to be the happiest family on the block when you spend time together! So grab those opportunities when you can. If there aren’t enough of them, plan them.
I talked here about how I am working to get my family to do more little things together. Of course, when you can, work in a family vacation here and there. Studies show that adults remember family vacations more than just about any other things (gifts, the quality of the furniture in their house, the car their parents drove).To fit in even more family time, drop what you’re doing when the kids and your husband are all watching TV and join them. And even if your husband comes home late and the rest of you have eaten, sit at the table together when he’s eating.
2 ) Celebrate together!
Make birthdays, anniversaries, and accomplishments a big deal. Also your children will feel more invested in the lives of their siblings if they help you pick out the gift they’ll be sharing with their brother or sister. You can also let them write a card and present the gift.
3 ) Keep it real.
Do your children understand what’s important to you and your wife? Do they know what your family stands for and believes? Focus on the things that bring long term happiness to your family and to your children’s future lives – your faith, kindness in daily life, focusing on people not things.
4 ) Manage your marriage.
When our marriages are strong, our families are strong. You and your husband are what your children think of when they think of family. Do all you can to make your marriage peaceful, loving, and strong.
5 ) Make family time conflict-free.
If all of your time together is filled with the tension of you and your wife bickering or your kids disobeying, regroup. Talk to your wife about setting aside disagreements during family time. And if you need to work on getting your kids to obey, so you don’t have long drawn out battles when you are together.But don’t be too hard on yourself, even the happiest families have conflict. It’s how we handle conflict that contributes to our level of family happiness
