Imperfect family . . .

In my opinion, no one can never have a perfect family. Each family member have different opinions, likes and dislikes , so most likely there will always be disagreements on how things are to be done. However, the family members could compromise on things around the house. They need respect and patience for each an every one in order to have peace and order in the house. Yes, prayers are powerful in asking for the peace and order in the house. Only God knows how to tame each and everyone in the family.

I think a very interesting part of your comment is the idea that God brings people together to test patience. I do think that may be part of the reason, but not the only reason. I do believe in some strange way we are put together with the personalities we need to help us grow and learn and become better people. I have told my daughters they may encounter the same challenges in life over and over in different forms until they learn what they need to know. Perfection is not yet ours while we are on earth, in my opinion. That's for later

My family is not perfect also. I hate three of my uncles and some relatives are just simply annoying. But what can I do - we are not meant to be the perfect. We have our differences and yes, I guess we're also being tested in that way. On how far we can go with our patience and our love as well for each other. This was the prayer I have learned from a person I admire so much. =) “Blessed are those who arouse us to anger, who bring out the worst in us, for they force us out of the denial that we harbor within—that we are hooked on them, that they resonate with something hidden inside us, and to break free, we must let go of our misguided moral superiority.”

squarepants people are non of us perfect so thats useless. Just pick the family that suits you as we are all faulty in one way or another.So fall in love unconditionally no strings at all taking each other as you are then have wonderful children and love them unconditionally. they will love you back good points and bad points all. Maybe not a perfect family but a darned good one and a happy one.

Hello my friend, look like your new here... welcome to mylot... For my own observation and experienced nothing in this world have perfect family.. Why? Because I've always seen that inside the family always having own problem and their members are having a things they don't like.. All of us are dreaming a perfect family but never happened in my views because we are all diffirent character and needs and emotions..see you around

Be carefull what you wish for, I have learned a relationship ( family -friends or otherwise) that are to perfect means one or the other is not being true. For a family to grow you need differences of opinions, you need to challeneg one another. Its not how much you agree on, but what you do to come to a common ground. have faith in your family. Accept them as they are and be happy you have them, and youll learn you have the perfect family.

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. Whilst we may not think things are perfect, someone looking in might think otherwise. Being there for each other in times of need is a life that many dream of. If you are looking for peace of mind and perfection, then you yourself are not perfect. View the world differently, take each day and live it as if it were your last. Perfection is a state of mind not a reality.

What do you mean by perfect family? You know, only God is perfect. You want a happy, perfect family? You can't, that's the harsh reality. Humans are imperfect and so do the things that are associated with them. A change in perspective is all you need. Appreciate what you have because it is given to you for a reason. Smile, think positive. :)

What's the point of wanting a perfect family when you love them? I mean can't you have your own idea of perfect? My family definitely isn't perfect. We fight all the time and I'm pretty sure our neighbors hear us yelling at random times during the day/night. But who cares that we aren't perfect. We may not get along well but we still love each other and if something happens to the other we're normally there to help them.
