Greetings dear readers. Today we will talk about the Family. This is the most important part of human life. The importance of the family in human life cannot be overestimated. Now I have a lot of thoughts spinning in my head, but I'll try to put everything in its place.

Actually, my wife pushed me to this topic. I looked at the life of our youth today, I was horrified. And then I remembered my generation, I remembered what my parents, grandparents said. In principle, not everything is as bad as it might seem.

Of course, before, the state placed a strong emphasis on the family, education as a family is a cell of society, and so on. Then a big failure, but today everything is reborn. Of course people have changed, their attitude to life has changed. The very pace of life has accelerated, children are growing up at an amazing rate. But children need to be taught, to let them understand what the Family means. Let's analyze the importance of the Family in human life.

Big family

Let's start with the simplest - the definition. The importance of the family in human life cannot be overestimated. But trying to define not only the word, but also the meaning - Family, I got a little confused. The point is that with amo definition varies greatly nowadays. This is important to understand.

Let's say for an adult, not family man, Family is more associated with marriage, duties, material satisfaction and so on. Those who already have a family will answer differently and in different ways. But many do not pay attention to the fact that the family is not only husband and wife, children, but also the parents of grandparents and so on.

Here children see the Family differently. For them, this is the first social environment where they study, because their parents are an example for them. And this is important for parents to know. The child, while living with his parents, learns everything from them. And the skills that he acquired will remain with him forever and will influence his future life, his family.

If we take the state, any, then they have their own view of the family as a society. They relate differently to the family. But this is exactly what the state itself depends on. In fact, by improving the quality of life of the family as a society, one can also improve one's (state) state of "health". There are many subtleties, of course, but I think you understand me.

And if we take science, then there is also a different attitude and concept of the Family. Here, the psychological side is considered to a greater extent. Relations within the family and relations in society are studied, and so on.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, they are all right. I would just take and combine all the views together. And that may not be enough. Each family has its own zest. It can be said more simply. Family is the most important thing in a person's life. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the Family in human life.

Let's leave this question open and look at the meaning of the Family for a person.

The importance of the family in human life.

No matter how the fate of a person develops, no matter what hardships occur, a husband or wife, parents, brothers and sisters, and so on, will always support, understand and help. And the birth of a child, not even the first one, is always an event for all members of the Family. After all, a child is a continuation of life, including his own.

In general, when you have your own family, especially a large one, children, then over time you begin to understand what it is and why it is. Already after this understanding, it becomes good and easy in the soul, realizing that you are the most happy man on the planet. And then it becomes very sorry for those people who do not have a family. After all, they grow up and live without family warmth, without love and care. You can't buy these qualities for any money, you won't exchange them for anything.

A family can be compared to a small island where they are always waiting for you, they love you, no matter what happens. On this island, you have your own worries, you take a break from everyday bustle, everyone morally supports each other. Yeah, I can't even put it into words. But this is not always the case. Sometimes families break up, and for nothing, in fact. Maintaining a family is a very responsible burden.

We need to understand this responsibility to find compromises, to solve unsolvable problems and questions and many many things. Say it's hard? It is difficult, but the result is much more pleasant when everything is fine in the family, there comes a feeling of satisfaction, calmness. No mountains of money will give you such happiness.

Family should come first. I feel very sorry for those who put their career or anything else first. It is not right. Most often, such people are lonely and unhappy. I don’t remember now, but some billionaires did not earn their capital because their career was in the first place. Just the opposite. It is thanks to the support of their Family, close people that they have the strength and confidence in what they do.

Family plays a huge role in everyone's life. Starting from infancy, you and anyone else acquires all the skills in the Family, in the circle of your loved ones. Learn to live, survive, eventually form another Family. Study again and then teach your children and so on.

Your personal condition, successes in life, at work, in your personal affairs, in everything you touch depend on what kind of relationships develop within the Family. Much depends on the Family and on you personally.

Real Family.

We discussed the meaning of the Family in human life and its role. But how to make sure that the Family is real, and not just a word? First you need to understand that the Family must be strong and healthy, prosperous.

True, for many, well-being is associated with money. They say the more of them, the more prosperous and everything will be fine in the family. Yes, it's not like that. Well-being in the family - love, warmth of loved ones, understanding, trust, emotional closeness. Something like that.

If there is discord in the Family, one must not change the Family, not destroy it (this does not add up in the head at all), one must understand each other, children and understand what the Family lacks. We'll fix everything. There must be mutual respect and love, if it was, then it is, love does not go anywhere.

We need to maintain our relationship, take care of each other. Often the Family is compared to the Hearth. It is true. The hearth will go out and will not heat if no wood is thrown into the fire. The same is true with family relationships. And not just between husband and wife.

But if you reject a child, then over time he will simply stop sharing his impressions with you, and so on. The child will move away from the parents and the older the child is, the more difficult the relationship will be with him. So pay attention to the child, the more the better.

They live soul to soul.

We often hear this expression. I think this is what everyone should strive for in family relationships. Each family needs to gain a bright and good experience through the constant manifestation of care, support and love. This is the task of man in this life.

There is such a commandment, honor your father and mother, because this is the basis of the family. If there is no respect, no care and no attention to your parents, all this will affect the family, and even children. And what is the basis of a healthy and strong family? And this is a relationship at the level of the Soul. Sometimes they say about people: “They live soul to soul” - this is a manifestation of respect, support and love for each other.

Any family that wants to be prosperous in every sense of the word must be built on love and mutual respect. When a person simply loves and takes care, without demanding anything in return, there is spiritual unity through such a manifestation of the Soul.

And such a family helps a person develop, gain positive experience and create spiritual matter of light in the Soul - this is exactly what a person was born on this Earth for.

Here is the answer to the question.

Now I think you can answer the question: What is a Family. The meaning of the Family in human life is now clear. I'll say it in my own words. The family is the union of two loving friend friend of people capable of producing new life, teach.

Family, these are the people who can provide support in difficult times and provide love and understanding. The existence of families is inherent in our very human nature. And no matter how much it changes the world we will still reach out to each other to cope with these changes.

The family is both unique in terms of deep subjective intimacy and the most widespread phenomenon in the world. The family is the spiritual well-being not only of oneself, but of all members of the Family.

And a lot of things. I repeat once again that the importance of the family in a person's life cannot be overestimated.

I hope I was able to explain simple truths to you and show how important it is. And no matter how many words have been said above, everyone must decide for himself what is important for him and his Family, what to do and what he strives for.

Leave your comments below, share this post on social networks, if you want to know more, stay with us, it will be even more interesting.

The value of personal communication is most fully realized in family relationships. This fullness means that spouses communicate with each other on a spiritual, mental, and physical level.

Spiritual unity in communication happens among like-minded people and co-religionists. Spiritual unity in communication can be found in various human communities in which people share each other's spiritual experiences - sorrows and joys. Bodily communication is characteristic of both people and representatives of the animal world.

A long-term natural and dynamic process of development of relations between spouses at all three levels of human existence characterizes the completeness of family communication. The binding force of family communication is love.

The family is a safe haven for loved ones in sorrows and joys. The family is the guarantee of the birth of healthy and clean children from vices and a reliable guardian of old age. The family is the school of love.

Despite the fact that spouses have bodily intercourse with each other, marriage is the guardian of chastity. It is expressed in purity of heart and peace of conscience. Saint John Chrysostom said: “Marriage is a medicine that destroys fornication. This is the strength of the life of all of us, that the wife be of one mind with her husband; it supports everything in the world.”

completeness family life is acquired when the spouses have a common view of life in its various manifestations. Therefore, ideally, the worldview of the spouses should be consonant or united.

But this harmony of worldviews of husband and wife cannot arise in one day. In the family there is a gradual unity of life. This process largely depends on the degree of similarity or differences in their characters and beliefs at the time of marriage registration.

Much depends on how the spouses fit each other in terms of cultural level, level of education, specifics of upbringing, religious beliefs, etc.

Some of the risk factors in family relationships are the following: view of childbearing, professional activity wives, headship in the family.

Therefore, in family life, the ability and desire of spouses to meet each other halfway, not to consider their point of view as the only true one, are of great importance.

The lifestyle of a person, the achievement of personal and family happiness largely depends on what he sees the meaning of life and whether he sees it at all. The philosopher S. Frank wrote: “Russian people suffer from the meaninglessness of life. He keenly feels that if he simply "lives like everyone else" - eats, drinks, marries, works to feed his family, even enjoys ordinary earthly joys, he lives in a foggy, meaningless whirlpool; like a chip, is carried away by the passage of time and, in the face of the inevitable end of life, does not know why he lived in the world. He feels with his whole being that it is necessary not "just to live, but to live for something."

Some people, unable to find a way out of the current situation, try to fill the inner spiritual void with some external surrogate, allowing them to temporarily forget about what is happening to them. Some begin to strive for wealth, naively believing that it can lead to happiness. But material needs are not satiated: the more there are, the more you want to have.

Psychologist T.A. Florenskaya notes that a person’s attachment to material values ​​alone, to money, is a kind of disease, the essence of which is a perversion of human needs. A pathological greed develops in a person, which destroys him spiritually.

Other people try to fill their spiritual void with all kinds of entertainment and pleasures. Not reaching what they are looking for, they seek more thrills in drugs, alcohol, and become heavy smokers. According to American researchers, 100% of cases of drug addiction are associated with a loss or misunderstanding of the meaning of life. But if a person embarks on this path, then he meets with even greater suffering.

The true meaning of life is found in love. A person finds justification for his existence through the sacrifice of his own egoism. Thus, she rises above her own egoistic beginning and accepts in its entirety the object of her love. Love has an eternal dimension. Love gives a person reconciliation with life and the perception of life as a gift. Being is experienced by man as love for the Other. Through love, man achieves the unity of being.

Thomas Merton wrote: “We are made for love. While we are alone, life is meaningless, meaning is born when there is another. You cannot discover the secret of your life by thinking alone. The meaning of life is a mystery, and it is revealed in love, through the one we love.”

A person who does not find the fullness of family life often experiences an internal crisis of losing the meaning of life. This is especially true for men when the family breaks up. And this can push him to asocial forms of behavior: drunkenness, a life of crime and a homeless existence. A significant part of the deaths of the male population of Russia at a young, working age is explained by the loss of the meaning of life.

In choosing the meaning of life, the Russian philosopher S. Frank gives the following advice: “The meaning of life ... should be thought of in any case as some kind of eternal beginning. Everything that happens in time, everything that arises and disappears, being a part and fragment of life as a whole, thus cannot substantiate its meaning in any way.

Thus, the meaning of the life of any person must be embodied in what will remain on earth after his departure to eternity. After all, it was not in vain that our ancestors saw the task of their existence in raising a son and planting a tree. Both are a footprint on the ground.

The textbook was read and retold by Guz G.M.

From the point of view of sociology, the family is one of the most important and interesting models of social interaction within a group of people to study.

The concept of a family can have two interpretations:

1. A group of people who are not related by family ties, but live together and lead a joint household.
2. A group of people who are related by blood ties.

Many people now neglect the connection with relatives, do not seek to start their own families and in every possible way deny the importance of the institution of the family. In this article we will talk about what the family gives and what role this concept plays in society.

The role of the family in human life

From childhood, we are taught that the family is the cell of society. But no one explains why this cell is important and what a family gives a person in social, economic and moral terms.

The family plays a particularly important role in a child's life. When we grow up, we often leave the parental nest in order to establish our own lives and eventually create our own family. But by this point, we had already received from our parents everything that we needed to decide to go on an independent voyage.

family and child

About what the family gives the child during his formation, it is written below:

• Education. Looking at our parents, we learn not only to repeat the simplest actions after them, but also to interact with the outside world. If in deep childhood dad and mom teach us how to properly hold a fork or how to brush your teeth, then later, sometimes without realizing it, we learn from the example of our parents how to behave with other people: with the opposite sex, with friends, with annoying neighbors, etc. All this is deposited in our subconscious and at some point indirectly affects our decision-making.
• The moral support. A person who has a family will never be alone. Of course, family relationships are different for everyone. But if you grow up in a normal, loving family You can always count on the support of your loved ones. They will console you and help you with advice, and if necessary, by deed.
• Economic support. Up to a certain point, a person cannot provide for himself, so our parents support us throughout our childhood. Not only people do this, but also animals that take care of their offspring until they reach a certain age. Humans differ from animals in that this process is usually mutual. After you grow up and get on your feet, you already begin to help your parents both financially and morally and physically. As a person ages, he becomes more and more like a child who needs help with everything. It is not in vain that people say - what is old, what is small. Much of this depends on upbringing.

Family and parents

If we talk about what the family gives parents, then the question arises of why people have children. What a family gives a person is understandable. Family is a quiet harbor in which you will be understood, helped and listened to. This is why most people get married and start families. But why have children? If we do not take into account the fact that reproduction is a natural process that is characteristic of all living beings and is the basis for the development and existence of a species, then we can say that the birth of children serves several purposes:

• it is a symbol of the love of two lovers who see its embodiment in children;
• it is a way to unite the family and try on new social roles and functions;
• children, no matter how selfish and selfish it may sound, often serve to embody the ideas, desires and aspirations of their parents, which they themselves have not been able to realize.

The role of the family in society

The family is the oldest and most enduring institution of family relations that has existed for many centuries. What the family gives to society, you can find below:

• Families transmit knowledge and traditions accumulated by previous generations. When there was no written language and all knowledge was transmitted, as they say, by word of mouth, only parents were able to pass on to their children the knowledge that they had acquired from their own experience. Those, in turn, preserved and increased this knowledge, passing it on to their children. This is how progress progressed.
• Children who grow up in healthy families are more emotionally stable and balanced, they have a good base for further development, which means they are unlikely to ever become socially dangerous. If the child is properly brought up, he, on the contrary, will strive to be socially useful and respect himself, those around him and existing laws.

What does family mean in human understanding? First of all, it is a cell of society, a close-knit team that cannot exist separately. FROM modern society the family has a very versatile understanding. For one person, it is necessary that there be a wedding, a ceremony, a stamp in the passport, a husband and wife with children, and for another person it is enough to have loved one and joy from the fact that he is near, regardless of wealth and status.

For a person, the family is born from his birth to old age, accompanied by love, happiness, common joy, mutual understanding. The birth of children in a family is accompanied by building a family, the emergence of new traditions and the maintenance of old ones. Giving children all the tenderness and care, we show them that the family is a close-knit warm nest in society. Seeing the love of parents and the environment of the family, children refer to their example, build their own families, continuing the lineage and maintaining established traditions.

A family for a person is a warm home where you are always welcome and expected, people with whom you can share joyful events or problems, regardless of difficulty or misfortune, where they will always support and give you a firm shoulder. In a family, a person can be himself, without showing high manners, be simple and funny.

The birth of the spirit and will occurs only in the family

Loneliness is not acceptable for a family. Being lonely means being an outcast in society. After all, friends are not family, they will always be behind. And although some people speak unflatteringly about the family, for example, there were bad parents or there was assault in the family, but she taught to be stronger in society, taught to be stronger and achieve her goals. Therefore, no matter what the family is, each has its own advantages. The gift of life for a person is already a big plus, because when we receive life, we get a family, and with it we get the main thing in life:

• Happy childhood;
• Successful future;
• Strong family.

Proceeding from this, a family for a person, these are the first steps into a new life, this is a cozy nest in big world. The family is of great importance for a person, educating his temper and character, teaches all the basics of life's difficulties and solves the problems of a close-knit family. Support and support, love and understanding - that's what a family is for a person.

The family is not just a cell of society, as they say. This is a small “state” with its own charter, the most important thing in life that a person has. Let's talk about its value and much more.

What is the importance of the family in a person's life?

The family is the place where everything begins: birth, upbringing, transmission of traditions and values, familiarization with society, teaching morality and moral principles, in accordance with which one must live, love for one's homeland.

The family is associated primarily with the parents. It is they who play the main role in the life of every child, give a ticket to a brighter future, instill in him kindness, humanity, tact, and help develop empathy.

Brothers and sisters have an important influence on development. Seniors give a sense of emotional security, comfort. It is easier to learn about the world around and build contact with people. The younger ones also play a great role, since in relation to them the eldest child shows care, guardianship, goodwill, provides attention, help, demonstrates humanity, gives a sense of security, love and warmth. The importance of the family in human life is infinitely great.

Family ties are the beginning

A family is a group of people who are related by marriage or family ties. In psychology and pedagogy, a family is defined as a small social group, the basis of which is the marriage union of spouses, which is overgrown with family relations of two or more people who live together.

family signs

A small society has a number of unique properties:

1. Entry into this community occurs exclusively on a voluntary and gratuitous basis.
2. Common among family members may be the budget, Cohabitation and housekeeping, the acquisition of any property, material values.
3. Having common children.
4. Compliance with the rights and obligations provided for by law.
5. Members of the group are connected by moral, psychological and moral unity.

The role of the family in human life and society

The family performs many important functions that ensure its livelihoods. Let's consider some of them:

1. The first is reproductive. Pursues the implementation of a social and individual task. The first is responsible for the reproduction of the population, the second - the satisfaction of the natural need for the birth of children.
2. Educational. This is the socialization and education of children until they come of age. The crumbs are transferred family traditions and values, moral principles are inculcated.
3. Economic. The family provides for the satisfaction of basic needs - shelter, food and drink, clothing. Members of a small community run a joint household, acquire and accumulate material goods and values ​​in order to pass them on to the younger generation.
4. Recovery. A person needs protection, love and care. The dissatisfaction of these basic needs leads to problems associated with physical and psychological illness, resulting in depression, outbursts of aggression and nervous breakdowns both within the family and outside it. This entails the dissolution of the marriage, the children do not grow up in a full-fledged family. It all depends on if the common spirit is strong, relatives respect, love each other, appreciate, make concessions, can organize leisure and life, their family ship will never break on the reefs of problems.

A favorable emotional environment is very important in the family. Let's talk about it.

Psychological climate

The importance of the family in a person's life is determined differently for everyone. Some honor and respect, express gratitude to their relatives, while others do not find value in this. It all depends on the environment in which and how the person was brought up.

Allocate favorable and unfavorable climate.

The climate in the family can be determined by the following characteristics: emotional state, mutual understanding, solidarity and so on. It is influenced by the relationship of the spouses, their attitude towards other people, towards the rest of the family. In a prosperous family psychological climate due to benevolence, care, a sense of duty and responsibility, characterized by the common interests of the wife and husband. Now it is more clear what meaning the family has in a person's life - paramount.

Let's talk about family values

strong and Friendly family- a small brick of a reliable foundation for a large healthy society, so the role modern family in the life of each person individually and society as a whole is very large. Values ​​are the walls of a small cell of society, these are the rules and moral principles, foundations, traditions by which she lives, which she tries not to violate. Judging by them, one can determine the importance of the family in a person's life. Let's consider the main ones:

1. Truthfulness. Honesty in relationships is the foundation of everything. Without it, it will not be possible to create a strong and reliable rear. It is necessary to honor any of its manifestations, to perceive criticism sensibly, because another time you will not hear the truth in your address.
2. Flexibility. It is very important to show loyalty in order to avoid unnecessary quarrels and strife.
3. Cohesion. Family members need to have personal space and freedom for various activities. But everyone should clearly know that he has a strong family to which he can always return. To be one, it is necessary to spend leisure time together, to meet with relatives.
4. Forgiveness. You need to be able to forgive, not be offended by trifles. Life is so short to waste it on unnecessary, energy-consuming, time-consuming quarrels.
5. Generosity. It is necessary to teach children from childhood to give without demanding in return. This is the foundation of such valuable qualities as empathy, sensitivity, tact, empathy, humanity, and so on. After all, if this is not given to the crumbs at the beginning of his life's journey, then he will not fill the emptiness of the soul.
6. Traditions. Let's talk about family traditions. Each one is different. Some annually visit the graves of their grandfathers, gathering with relatives from all over the world. Others traditionally celebrate their son's birthday all the time in nature with tents. Still others have a home theater with popcorn every Friday. It is important to instill an interest in ancestors from childhood, to teach them to honor and remember. You can make a tree of life together - you need to know your ancestors, your roots.
7. Curiosity. It is necessary to notice and satisfy the curiosity of the crumbs in time, to help him to know the world.
8. Communication. A very important value in every family. We must always talk about everything. Communication builds trust on which everything rests.
9. A responsibility. It appears with age, but it is necessary to instill it in a child from childhood. Starting with cleaning toys, keeping the room tidy, caring for a pet, and so on. It will be easy for a child to go through life with this invaluable quality.

Depending on the existing family values, favorable climate, established moral principles and foundations, the image of the family is formed, which will become the face of a cohesive social group. A strong rear will provide a healthy emotional and physical development each member of the family: wife, child, spouse.

What is the role of the family for the child?

The family is the place where the baby said the word "mother", took the first steps. Parents try to give their baby all the best, care, affection, love, instill spiritual and moral principles, teach them to explore the world. The kid will be able to appreciate her role in his life only as an adult. But parents should tell and demonstrate the importance of the family, so that the child knows that he can always turn to them for help and support. Understanding that he has a strong family gives confidence, strength.

Demonstrate the importance of kinship to your child

What is it for? Children can only copy the actions of adults, they adopt the behavior of their parents. Therefore, it is important that the latter be a role model for their crumbs, showing by personal example the importance of the family in a person's life.

Practical Tips:

1. Family always comes first. We need to spend as much time together as possible. it family holidays, dinners, breakfasts, because children see and adopt the trepidation of feelings that relatives and relatives show to each other.
2. Don't neglect respect. You need to start with yourself. If you do not respect relatives, strangers, your children, in the end they will treat everyone the same way, and this is scary.
3. Create family traditions together.
4. Involve children in homework, be sure to praise them for this.
5. Show your love for them. Hug, kiss, say warm words more often.
6. Demonstrate to your sons the ideal of a family man so that he can take advantage of this model of behavior and create his own strong and reliable family in the future.

Children should be brought up in healthy families, then they will be emotionally stable and stronger, more balanced, more self-confident. Having such baggage behind them, they will never become socially dangerous people and will respect themselves, their families, the society in which they live, and the existing laws, rules and foundations.
