Document Summary

There is no such thing as a perfect family, because the world is far from it. Families make mistakes and have issues to deal with. These obstacles are what help families to thrive and learn from the past. However, certain components make up ideal families in this imperfect world. An ideal family consists of healthy relationships, well-knit religious backgrounds and trustworthiness. Close interactions with family members, friends and others, are key aspects. A family with these iron-like relations is a family where all members heavily bond and help overcome hardships together. When life gets tough, everyone needs someone to help relieve stress. By sharing one"s thoughts, others can provide guidance which makes for better outcomes, through persistent times. This allows for a comfortable kinship where children can ask for advice, without the feeling of being suffocated. This communication is extremely imperative so that people can voice their opinions, concerns and questions.
