What makes the relationship with your family getting stronger?

The secret behind any relationship is the space between two people or a family and mutual respect for each other. If a family is full of self centered people , it will never lead to happiness for anyone. Bond of love and respect stregthens family relations even if its members live apart from each other. Especially in a marriage, where two different persons involve each other in ever aspect of their lives, understanding is most important. Better say it as tolerance. Love is not liking your partner's specialities rather, developing tolerance for that person's drawbakcs and capability to cope with it as well as help the person come out of it. Also a marriage si different from blood relations in a way that it doesnt bound you naturally, rather you have to make it natural. So its upto the couple how they make each other's companionship heaven or hell.

family bonding is very important. my brother is 4 years older than me. but we still hang out a lot and do stuff together like we are just friends. my brother in a way is one of my best friends. when we have the time, our whole family takes some time out for bonding like going to the beach or eating out and catching up on each others individual lives.
