Building a Happy Family Life : หน้า 34/216

Part One: Family Life 2. Does this person have the knowledge, the ability, and the good character to support our family so that it is happy and can they help us raise our children to be respectful, moral, responsible people? Today, people tend to marry for personal needs. This causes so many problems after the marriage papers are signed. Not paying attention to the character of a partner will lead to a variety of abuses in marital relationships and divorce will be inevitable. Marriage depends on individual sacrifice. Furthermore, when we have children, we must sacrifice even more because we must set aside time for our children. Thinking about this beforehand is vital because it is certainly too late to think about all of this AFTER marriage! Marriage, then, is not just about physical enjoyment, having fun, external beauty or raising one's social status. It is about supporting our partner in mind and body. It is about character and sacrifice. Caring for each other physically (including wise financial spending on household necessities and sharing) and mentally (consideration, support in times of crisis, honesty) lead to a healthy marriage and family life. Truthfulness, self-control, endurance and sacrifice are at the heart of a healthy family life. These characteristics are the vital essence that each member of the family must have in order to establish a stable and powerful foundation on which to build their individual lives together.
