I was lucky to have two pairs of grandparents living and rocking it. The two couples have been together for over 50 years and they seem to know a thing or two about a happy relationship. They have managed to raise wonderful children and grandchildren, have been successful in their careers, and most importantly, they still love each other after all these years. They still care for each other, support each other, and value their families above all else. Every time I visit them, I am inspired to want to have the same thing in my life.
I've asked my grandparents to share their secrets, read on to find out how to have a happy family.
Xi new things is great in itself. Xi something with your family can bring you closer and give you the opportunity to spend quality and productive time together. You can take an introductory cooking class and learn how to dance, paint, knit and sail Xi – the opportunities are endless. You can learn a lot while playing with your loved ones.
Spending quality time with your family is priceless. There are a lot of things you can do together to have fun. Occasionally play board games, sing karaoke, watch funny movies, tell each other stories, play bowling, play basketball, or enjoy countless other fun group activities.
Beautiful little surprises are a good Xi for happy families. Kids can make a cup of coffee for their mom every now and then. Parents can surprise their kids with an unexpected theme park tour. Couples can do little nice things for each other, such as cooking a romantic dinner, writing a love letter, or bringing home their partner's favorite dessert in the evening.
This doesn't necessarily mean all the time. Forcing everyone in the family to drop everything and go to the restaurant twice a day is nonsense. If you can, have dinner together every night. This is your time to ask everyone how they were doing today and discuss all the news and latest issues. If daily dinner isn't for everyone, try at least twice a week. Eating with family through conversation is a good Xi.
Spending time with your family is great, but it's also important to have time for yourself. While you read quietly, your husband can watch the children. When you're playing big, your wife can be with the kids. Enjoying alone time doesn't make you a bad parent or spouse. Everyone needs it. Recognizing and respecting this is the key to a happy family.
In the family, it is very important to discuss problems, achievements, worries, worries, and expectations. Talk about everything with your spouse and children as a rule. It will make you closer and happier.
It's an amazing thing to create your own family tradition. Maybe that means eating pancakes every Sunday morning, going sledding after the first snow of the year, celebrating an anniversary somewhere special, or bringing a souvenir with you on every trip. One of the greatest family traditions is to celebrate major festivals together, gather all relatives and hold feasts.
Feeling appreciated is one of the most important things in a happy family. All family members should say how grateful they are to each other, how great they are to have each other, how much they love each other, and how grateful they are for everything they have done for each other. These simple words of appreciation can make a family stronger. Hugs and kisses can also work well.
Traveling with family is a great Xi. Seeing new things, visiting new places, and experiencing new emotions bring people closer together. Try to take a large trip at least once a year. Occasional small tours are also available if you can. Visit relatives in the next town, go to the lake hut for a weekend, or go camping for a few days.
It may sound obvious, but love is also a Xi that you need to develop and train. Xi Learn how to be patient when your kids break things, your husband doesn't notice your new hairstyle, your wife doesn't want to watch action movies with you, or your parents forbid you from going outside. Remember all their strengths, talk to them about your concerns, and thank you for possessing these qualities.
