..Hi.. I'm already married but I still want to stay with my father, brothers and sisters.. When we were young, we didn't really spend much time with each other because of the life that we have.. we need to stay in different places and stay in a different house just to survive.. Now that we have our own families, I really want my whole family to be together again most especially that our father is already old.. I want him to spend the rest of his days on earth with us.. However, we don't have our own home yet where my family could stay.. we are still renting.. This is why I try to join lotto hoping that I could enough money to buy a house and lot because it is too expensive right now.. I can't afford to buy one with my small salary.. This is also one reason why I try to look for other alternatives for me earn extra bucks to save.. I look forward that in the coming days, my dream would come true..

Being with family first of all is the great honour for us. I like my family very much and therefore I am grateful to Almigthy God. A family either small or big sholud'nt be considered as choice, instead we must encourage our near and dear one to live as family member. In this we can become social, responsible, caring and look forward to living a happy, healthy and peaceful life.

No, I don't like joint family. It is something frowned upon in my family. And my boyfriend already moved out of his parents' house. So we would be renting an apartment after we get married. A joint family seems like a good option, but if I were a man I would put my wife's interest first. Also I would remember that she left her parental home for me which is a big sacrifice. In return I would be obliged to do the same for her. At least that is what my dad told me.
