At this day in age, it is quite sad to see divorce rates shoot up and cases of child abuse rise in numbers. I often wonder why did people ever come to a point like this and then I realized that we really have changed the value system within the family. Family no longer takes place in the center of our lives. It is replaced with money, career and SELF. And as the family is the first and most important experience a child can have, having a dysfunctional one results (most of the time but not ALL of the time) in a child that lacks confidence, needs love and everything else.

I recently helped a friend out who filed for the nullification of her marriage and asked me to be a witness. I went to the psychologist to give out my story and in the process of waiting for my turn, read some of her books about why marriages fail. It really starts with the a child lacking love from parents that they grow up into people who dont know how to love - they just want to feed their egos. How can they learn how to love when they havent even been shown love in the first place? Theravive Counseling Los Angeles offers a lot of these services - family, marriage, self counselling - to help people understand themselves better. A true understanding of oneself, I believe, is the first step to healing.

Family. This is the most important value you need to have.
Raising a kid. This is the most important job you will ever have :)

    Yes indeed marriages are failing drastically and increasing divorce rates is the live evidence in front of our eyes. Very true that today most of the children do not receive adeqaute love which results in an imperfect family. I think children must be brought up with very good value system which can make their lives beautiful indeed! Your blog is fabulous and here it I am bookmarking it: http://del.icio.us/britneyvaughan
