Functional Families

Matt and I are both working on our very last assignment for our research class. Our
house looks like a press room blew up with papers and drafts everywhere! Why do we
always wait until the last minute to do what we need to do?

I'm doing my research proposal on what makes a family "work right", functional, or
the opposite of dysfunctional. It is definately a subject I feel passionate about
as my main focus in life right now is to create such a family environment. I'll
attach a great article about this topic at the end of this post.


So, if anyone is reading this and wants to add thier two cents, What makes your
family "work right"? What practices have you implemented to help your house run
smooth and help everyone to feel needed, appreciated and valued?


Any thoughts?
Thanks . . . Back to work
