Greetings and Blessings- Welcome to my blog.
Today I want to reflect on a motto very common today in the families of the earth. We continually hear from many educators, psychologists who study human behavior, "that is a dysfunctional or functional home".
Particularly I have always been struck by this type of definition in some families and although we know that a functional, family is not a perfect family, neither is it dysfunctional since its context demonstrates opposition to the functional.
Scholars declare that a functional, family is one, where all its members have learned to fulfill their responsibilities have learned to communicate giving love respect ... they support each other and in times of conflict they assume it with maturity.

While the dysfunctional family is one that shows inability to recognize and satisfy the basic emotional needs of each of its members.
That said, I want to specify that each family must have a context of life to be able to transmit to its members.
Secularly we can understand this type of families within this context. However, I would like to learn more about the subject and take it to the spiritual level, which is what God really wants from a family.
Functional and dysfunctional family What is functional and what is dysfunctional?
Obviously, the functional one keeps the word of God. I think it is convenient to say, what are we educating for? - to have engineers? very well, to have doctors? very well. But how are you strengthening the family? - We have to be responsible in terms of training, ethics, moral values, we must decide well and address with the word of God. We have to work in our families with the manual of life that is the Bible to be able to form values and principles.
A functional family, is obviously a father-fearing is a family that is based on the word of God and is the instruction of their children.

For example in the Bible we find an example of a functional family and is the case of the family of a man called "Cornelius", although this man was not Jewish the Bible says he was God fearing with all his house, which it means that the principle of wisdom is fear of jehovah. And that for the family to function in the kingdom of God there must be that principle. God does not ask for religion only a foundation "fear and obedience" to his word.
We have to learn to evangelize our children, we have to lay a foundation, we have to follow what the scriptures say if we want to have functional families.
In such a way beloved church that there is only one functional family and is one that has its foundation in God and his word.
We have to be responsible with our families.
