We are all born into a family, and when we grow up, we create our own. That is the way of man and that is the way of life. A man and a woman, creating a union, bring their own things to it, and all these things together form the foundation of family relationships, create the atmosphere in which their children will be born and grow up. And a family cannot exist without family values, they preserve its integrity and spiritual health.

The society divides family values into two types - traditional and modern. Traditional family values can be characterized as a result of interaction for a long period of time society with its views, religious norms, recognized in this society, aimed at maintaining the institution of the family. Loyalty, love, respect, the sanctity of motherhood, continuation of the family - this is far from complete, but the main list of family values. They are what the older generation is trying to instill in the young, what you hear about on TV, what they say in church, etc. The main meaning that they carry is marriage as the only correct form of life together of a man and a woman, the purpose of which, while maintaining faith and love for each other, is the continuation of the family and the upbringing of children.

As society and its attitudes change and develop, modern family values emerge. Each successive generation tries to take only the essentials from the previous one and brings its own, relevant at the moment. Of course, concepts such as love, trust, respect, mutual assistance, kindness and understanding are fundamental to modern family values. But, unfortunately, they are under serious pressure from various factors due to the problems of society. Thus, according to the results of sociological surveys family values are not in first place for young people. They are overtaken by: career, education, relationships with friends and parents. In order to preserve the family as the joy of our life, it is necessary first of all to show our children by example that it really is. Even if some of us failed to imbibe real values in relationships along with our upbringing, we must try to do our best for each other and make this world a better place.

We each have our own understanding of what should define and preserve a marriage and a relationship. We were taught this by our parents and we understand something by ourselves. We go through life with this reserve, not thinking about the fact that the person we love may have slightly different concepts and in a different volume. When getting married, spouses, as a rule, expect the best from each other - they do. It is a big mistake to wait for someone else to make the first step. It is necessary to begin to cultivate and protect everything that can make the union of two people successful, and children happy. Not only that, you need to do self-education, which is quite difficult, but essential. Learning to restrain anger when it seems impossible, to solve problems in a peaceful and reasonable way. This is just the beginning of the road to mutual happiness, but the result, believe me, will not keep you waiting, and you will soon feel that life is getting better and in front of you expect only good things. Do not forget about the children, they need not only teach them how important the family and the world in it, but his example constantly prove this assertion. And then, when they become adults, you will be glad that your efforts were not in vain, because for parents the happiness of their children - the meaning of all life. Thus, fostering family values is a must for all of us.

When a loved one is near and you can hear the laughter of playing children - your heart is filled with tenderness, the world plays all the colors of the rainbow, you want to stop this moment, so that it lasts as long as possible. Is it impossible? Nothing is impossible.Take care of love and mutual understanding, value the trust of your loved ones, do not insult their feelings, because it is from you they do not expect it in any way, and therefore find themselves in front of a blow absolutely defenseless.

The values of family life are really all we have.
