Abdullah Al-Medaifer Al-Yaum How should I treat my family? I have already answered this question through the title of this article. Yes, this is how you should treat your family. Although a short answer, it speaks volumes about the way to treat them. It is actually the roadmap for a healthy family. Anything you do for your family, you should do it with love without expecting anything in return. After all, they deserve nothing but love regardless of their actions. You should express this love no matter what your needs may be. To ensure that our families feel this love, we should create an environment at home that is conducive to love, an environment that helps us show our feelings at the spur of the moment. At home, there should be no reason for a kiss or a hug. When love is in the air, we breathe it, and it will be all over our home. My wife and I have made some improvements at home. When we discovered that we were spending more time working on the same thing, we decided to make even more improvements. We consider doing things together as a way of enjoying time together, not a burden that we should get off of our backs as soon as possible. My wife and I seize every opportunity to do things of common interest together in order to grow closer to each other. The more activities a married couple does, the closer they will become and the brighter their life will be. When you interact with your family, it is very important that you remember the following two rules which by the way are contradictory: Remember that you will live with your family for a long time and remember you will soon die. Use the first in relation to things that are material and tangible because you will stay with your family for a long period of time. This feeling will have a positive effect on you. You should provide your family with their material and physical needs. Consider the second in matters of a moral nature. Remember that you may die tomorrow and leave them behind. Therefore, always show unconditional love to them. Living by these two rules will make your life more beautiful. I asked my little daughter the other day why she was not wearing her favorite dress. To my shock, she said it did not fit her anymore. Look how time flies. Our children grow up quickly and do not wait for us until we are done with our work and tasks. Our families will only improve when we improve. We will improve when we rise to the occasion as fathers and bring joy and happiness to our families at home. A father who does not bring joy to his home should stop and think thoroughly about the reasons for that. Fathers should stop blaming their families when someone makes a mistake. We should act as sanctuaries for our families so that they turn to us when they need us. Set yourselves free from the shackles of monotony at home and express unconditional love to your families.
