I define family as a group of people who share a strong bond and support for one another no matter what issues and problems may arise. They provide financial and emotional support for one another and take care of each other in times of need. Family members look after one another in different ways. Parents care for the overall well-being of their child making sure they get the education they need and are healthy. Parents guide their children with life skills that they can use later in life. Siblings look out for one another at school and in other areas that parents might not have access to. They provide emotional support more akin to friendships and mutual understanding through age than a parent would. I think most of the relationships discussed in this chapter fit pretty well with my definition of family. They stress concepts like mutual understanding, respect, cohabitation, and commitment. These are ideals that are important to a healthy family relationship.
