  FAMILY RELATIONS   NOVEMBER 13, 2021 08 Family Stress ___ Jocelynn Linton Hello again everybody! And welcome back to the weekly blog. Today we are going to be talking about different stressors in the family. Families are one of the most amazing things that we have on this earth. They are our support system. They are there when no one else is. Of course, not all of our family is biological. Even though families are great, no family comes without hardship or difficulty.

Just like every single other topic in today’s world, the views on marriage are very different nowadays than they have been in the past.

This is a very beautiful and sacred union that often comes with many hopes and expectations. It is very important to make sure that all these expectations are realistic and reasonable.
