Family Relationship Advice and ResourcesContribute to the Family Relationship

A healthy family relationship begins with a romantic relationship between two people. Supportive and loving relationships start with attraction and passion. They are strengthened and maintained by commitment and faithfulness.
In the fairy tale the prince and princess meet, fall in love and live happily ever after. In real life there are real issues, and it takes real work to make a relationship last.
- Nurture the love that brought you together as a couple. Intimate relationships will not thrive automatically--they take effort.
- Be intentional about making plans to have fun together as a couple. Dating should not end with "I do."
- Make every birthday, anniversary and holiday a time to celebrate your relationship.
- Take time for a romantic getaway or a romantic picnic.
- Become true partners in planning your future. The excitement of fulfilling shared dreams can reignite the flame of love that once brought you together.
- Let your partner know, as often as possible, what you admire, respect and love about her or him, just like you did when you first fell in love.
- Encourage each other to grow as individuals. Growth and development of each person’s unique strengths and gifts will, in turn, strengthen your union as a couple.
- Learn together some valuable tips and insights from relationship experts.

Family Relationship Advice and Resources For Extended Family
- Build strong family relationships with as many as possible. Loving communication with extended family including in-laws, grandparents,and others creates a network that offers a strong foundation.
- As we build a family, we are stretched in many ways. Our spouse needs us, our children need us and, often, our parents or grandparents need us. The term "the sandwich generation" was coined to describe those who feel "sandwiched" between the needs of their children and the needs of their aging parents.
