Family quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, a pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the silent understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back.When you look at your life, the greatest happiness are family happiness.

Yes, that's the true value of family, happiness itself. Sometimes family were challenged through misunderstandings and gaps but in the end family is the final destination and the only thing that will lift us up and make us proud.

Well it is said that blood is thicker then water, and that is very true. Families quarrel all the time, but they always stick together in times of need.

good day asliah, with reference to your main topic, i can really say that my family is one of the family with quarrels and happiness. before, the quarrels that we have do not last that much. that it was being remedied quickly. solutions was being applied and arguments was being discussed. but now, it is different. none of those were being done. especially when i came back home six months ago. that their pride really hinders them to do it. although, i gave up my pride already, still, they do not want to settle it. however, in everything, i am just lifting up in prayers. God knows the right answer i believed.

I have always valued my family and put them as my priority. I've always been a protected sister even though i'm the youngest among the siblings. Though i love my siblings more than anybody else in the world, except my son, the disappointment and heartaches they have given me somehow tarnished our relationship and made me give up on them.

I suppose I'm lucky compared to others when it comes to family. Mine isn't as destructive as my beau's. It's nice to have a family even when the members have flaws. Although there are others I barely agree with, whenever we reunite, we always enjoy our times together.

Life is a journey with both sour and sweetness. If tie life is only with sour or sweetness the life will be well bored. So there comes the importance of both of them. So be ready to face those ones with courage to face it. All the best.

So often the Drama is what brings the real problems to the surface so they can be dealt with. Family is great!! No matter how pig headed we are, they always seem to take us back. Without that extra glue, many problems would never get solved. Family gets really exciting for the holidays. Let's all be sure to get it all out while we have everyone together. Yes, there is nothing better than family.

If a family have both quarrels and happiness then only it is a family.You need to have both in family.if you always have happiness you will get bored where as if you have only quarrels you will be frustrated.So both are important in a family.

I can't say I am raised in a happy family. It was only stress, fights, parents who did not love us kids but beat us up. Nobody needs a family like that or deserves it. I can't say I saw it as my fault and already as a kid I understood that family is just people too. You can't help it if you don't like someone. You can't choose your family you are stucked to them. So the only way to get out of such a situation is to leave. Accept you are different and respect the rest by letting them all be themselves. It's not nice to walk on eggs for the rest of your life. The family I have now (my kids etc) is completely different.I guess because we are all the same (same interests, all very creative, all in our own world). We understand eachother without words. We don't force ourselves up to the other, we share, we talk about every subject openly and nobody feels shame or insult or whatever. There is no bitterness, no unfriendlyness what counts is to let the other one: BE. By now the only thing I can say is that all my kids practise what real love, respect and honesty means. So if it comes to that I am very proud of them and happy they are my family.
