Life has changed so much for most of us. With the advancement of technology, changing cultural norms, new priorities, and new forms of communication fueled by the Internet, it's natural to wonder what the importance of the family is. Is it a dying institution that has no place in modern life? Certainly not! The family is just as relevant as it ever was, and no matter how much life changes in the future, it will probably continue to be needed in one form or another. Here is some importance of family.

1.      Meets Basic Needs of Those Who Can't Provide for Themselves

The basic social unit called the family is tasked with meeting the basic needs of those family members who can't provide for themselves as minors, very elderly, or disabled, or, can't afford enough to live by themselves. Basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and clean air are accessible when one or more member can provide these things for the whole family.

2.      A Feeling of Belonging

Many years ago, Abram Maslow created a diagram called the 'Hierarchy of Needs.' This hierarchy showed which needs were most crucial to humans. The wide base of Malow's pyramid diagram represented the basic needs mentioned above, which must be met first. On the next level up are the Security needs followed by the Love and Belonging needs. These needs are almost as essential as the basic needs. Fortunately, a healthy family can efficiently provide them.

3.      Financial Security

A well-functioning family provides financial security for everyone living in the household. First, family members who can work contribute at least a part of their earnings to help the family meet everyone's needs and prosper. Second, the family combines resources to pay bills and manage their money to ensure that financial necessities are always taken care of. Finally, the parents teach the children how to manage money and resources, so they can continue to thrive when they move out on their own.

4.      More Happiness and Satisfaction

Many people have found themselves with great news but no one to tell it to. That's a problem one rarely has when living in a family. Families plan vacations together, go to events as a group, enjoy quiet walks in the park, or get involved in a family art project. Whatever they do together, a healthy family will find satisfaction or look for a new way to spend their time together. People who are in healthy families have access to every day joys that some people don't have.

5.      The Family Offers Support for Family Members

Healthy families offer nearly every kind of support to each member such as financial, social, emotional, and practical. The importance of family as a foundation for stability and progress through continual backing can't be overstated.

6.      Who Is There When No One Else Is? Your Family!

Everyone has hard times. Everyone makes mistakes now and then or commits some social blunder. Others may turn their backs when someone may need support the most. A healthy family has each other's back. Even if they don't condone someone's actions, they love unconditionally. They're there for family members.

7.      Watches Out for Each Member, Noticing When Trouble Starts

When family members are under stress, someone close to them is most likely to see the signs that they're struggling. People may hide their problems with others, but family usually knows. Sometimes, a person may wish to keep troubles to themselves, like when responding to struggles in inappropriate ways. However, when accepting a family's help and support through these challenges, life could be better and more comfortable. Chances are when it's all over, a personalized thank their family for setting them on the right path.

8.      Provides Support When One of Them Is Ill

Facing medical problems alone can be a nightmare. Who is going help with transportation to doctor appointments or to pick up medications if necessary? One must work out all kinds of logistics when ill, and at a time when physical and emotional resources are low. Family potentially helps solve all these problems and can make sure that food, water, rest, and medical is provided. Society may not have to do anything to take care of a person's basic needs because a family has that covered.
