In our family we have many family traditions that keep us close to each other and give our family stability happiness and fun.
Staying emotionally connected is vital to the success and happiness of your marriage.
Rituals of connection, there are many rituals we can develop in order to keep our marriage alive and well. Rituals around celebration such as graduations, birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. Rituals around recreation such as vacations, date nights, and hosting parties. Rituals of communication such as expressing pride in each other and our needs, discussing relationship issues and stressful events, and communication daily appreciation. Sexual rituals such as initiating love making, and discussing how to gently refuse and each other’s needs. Rituals around everyday living such as how we stay healthy, morning and evening routines, how to deal with fatigue and burn-out, and dealing with illness. These rituals create a bond that can last for generations and builds family traditions.
Support for each other’s roles, establishing and respecting each other’s role in the family are crucial, each member needs to know what is expected of them to maintain trust and appreciation for each other. It is vital that we communicate about roles which are important for the whole. The proclamation on the family is very clear on our roles and how we must assist each other is our specific roles, “By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.” Every family’s dynamics may require some adaptation but the principle is clear that we have our roles and we help each other as equal partners.
Shared goals are an important aspect in marriage, we will have our individual goals that we must support for each other, but the shred goals are what bind us together. Discussing our future goals together will strengthen that bond while planning for future happiness for our family. Leaving a legacy for many generations to come is important, we must make it a positive one.
Shared values and symbols are a key for success and happiness.
President David. O McKay teaches us that, “No other success can compensate for failure in the home.” This makes it very clear how important our home life must be, what qualities and traditions should be central. The proclamation on the family says, “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.” Felling a sense of unity and having common values builds strong marriages and families.
