Building Family Ties and Respect for Parents
1. Enjoyment by parents of each other's company
2. Respect for each other's opinions.
3. A truly self-reliant outlook on life.
4. Treatment of the child with respect as an individual, a person worth consulting.
5. Enjoyment in doing things together as a family.
6. Sensible use of family income and joint decisions about its use.
7. Skills or traits in each family member that the others are proud of.
8. Recognition of lasting values rather than desire for excitement and amusement.
9. Acceptance of community responsibility.
Strengthening Values in Family Life
2. Respect for each other's opinions is possible only if each considers the other as important as himself. Because the home background and training of the two partners are not at all alike, it is easy to see why very different attitudes grow up. A man may have had a father whose unflattering opinion of women made his son unwilling to let his wife have a share in family planning. A woman may tend to show little respect for her husband's opinions because she, as an adored only child, was allowed to rule her mother and father. It will take effort for these two types, or others somewhat like them to develop habits of respect for their partner's ideas.
