The only two requirements for celebrating your family are a desire to do something that will strengthen the family further, and a family commitment to set aside some time for strength- building activities.
Families live in a rapidly changing world.
In the last few years tremendous changes have occurred that affect families and how families live. Think for a moment about the rise of fast- food restaurants, pay television, home computers, and video arcades. Consider how changes in transportation, industry, the economy, unemployment, job specialization, or government have affected your family. Many families have less time available for family members to get together and talk with each other about their individual concerns or family matters. In today s busy world, strong families take very definite steps to plan time to be together to talk about their ideas and concerns, resolve problems, and plan family activities.
