I took this book, to help me understand more about relationship, families.

This is concrete book on issues. This gives a glimpse of issues that run into families.

I'd encourage people to read about families, types of families.

Once they do, they'd have experiences, understanding to reflect on their own family journey.


Questions to be asked:

---"What would be a healthy family?"

---"What do you think would be good enough family?"

---"How do you deal with issues in family?"

---"What's the most important thing you could do for your family?"
-Providing for them, physically and emotionally
-Being Available for them
-Taking Interest in their lives
-Owning up your mistakes

---"What do you do when relationships fall apart?"
-Blame or own it.
-Change narrative and bring negative things the person did
-Move on, or believe in it

---"What steps have you taken for relationship?"
-How do people in your family feel loved, which love language do they speak?
-Have you expressed your love concretely in many steps, especially unconditional love
-Would you accept vulnerability of others, and give them a safe space to grow?


In your family, if someone aires grievances, do you validate them, or dismiss them?

Some of my favorite quotes, outside of this book:

-Parenting is the most difficult job in the world
-Perfection is the enemy of good

Important parts of the Book are Part One, And Part Three.

His Solution was basically, create long-lasting friendship and lasting intimacy.

I would recommend this to anyone, who is interesting in Parenting, Family.
