Family Life: About Close Relationships

For most people, close family relationships are the most important. It is not always clear how crucial family relationships often are for well-being, and therefore they greatly affect people. Conflicts with, for example, parents, partners, children, in-laws, sons-in-law, and daughters-in-law tend to create an inner burden that is not easily overlooked. People cannot choose the family they are born into, a fact that makes us participate in life’s most comprehensive lottery where some draw a winning ticket and others a losing one. Unlike this lottery, project managers in the family they create can influence and shape relationships to a greater extent. This book serves as a reflection tool for those who wish to understand how close relationships can be shaped in a way that increases the chances of forming a healthy family.
