Families are the foundation of the structure of a nation, its glue, its inheritance. Without the experience of being a member of a strong family, our identity is affected and it is hard for us to identify who we are, where we belong, and if we are of importance to another. Even though families are never perfect, family is important, they are the pillars of a nation. We need families to be strong and healthy, complete so that our children can fulfill their maximum potential.
