Research has shown family is the glue to life. Having positive support makes life more meaningful. Without it who do you rely on? Here is today's scenario:
Kyle and Melissa grew up in a close knit small town. They were surrounded by family everyday. They both came from a long line of Midwestern farmers. The two met through a friend of the family. They fell in love and married within 1 1/2 years. Both decided after marriage they wanted to explore the country. They wanted more out of life than living in the Midwest.
They decided to move East and settled in Pittsburgh. Life was an adventure for the first several months, but that didn't slow them down. Before their first anniversary they were expecting their first child. That first holiday season was hard. They didn't have all the traditional cooking or decorations. They made their own tradition as best they could but felt something was missing. They started to fight about money and family more frequently. They had few friends, and the friends they made happened to live close to family.
They decided being so far away from family was not the best for them. Within 2 years they packed up and went home. They decided home is with family.
Analysis:
It's more and more frequent today that people don't live close to family. There seems to be a break down in the family system. This couple had a difficult time without their family and decided they were important.
Solution: Is family really the glue to happiness in life. Would you be capable of moving two time zones from your birth family?
