Love for God and family provide joy in life. Marriage and parenting require commitment, sacrifice and emotional intimacy. Spending time together and having shared goals foster a sense of belonging and security. Warmth, family intimacy, closeness and affection are expressions of love. Being supportive, encouraging, motivating, and inspiring each other help family members cope with problems, challenges and adversity. Conflict in families is inevitable, but how we manage and resolve it is the key.
