We all know that marriage isn't a walk in the park. Many trials and hardships are going to occur. So what is the difference between stress and a crisis. How do they affect the family unit?
In my life stress occurs frequently and without any control on my part. We have to learn how to cope and come out stronger. It is a building experiences that make us who we are.
Would you chose to not have these experiences? I wouldn't. Sam and I have talked and know that once we are married there will be plenty of hard experiences but it will allow us to grow together.
How can a family grow under stress? It can bring you closer together and lean on each other. This is the ideal when stress is overwhelming.
What does a crisis mean for a family? It means stress that causes a permanent change. One example would be my Dad being diagnosed with diabetes. We as a family had to eat differently and realize his health was not good. We need to be more careful of what we bring into the house and help my dad exercise. Ours isn't as severe but many do suffer with even harder things.
How they cope will either tear or bring a family closer together. Build good relationships and look ahead for the bigger picture. Trials have meaning and makes them a little lighter.
