5 simple rules to a happy family life

The Russian breaks almost every second marriage. According Rosstata in 2014 godu 1,225,985 married couples, and dispersed 693730. 100 marriages have 57 streaks. The sad statistics. But it can be corrected if you take it a rule to a few simple truths.

Rule 1. Separate work and personal

If the wife or husband calling middle of the day, we can pick up the phone and say, "I'm busy: the meeting!" - and then shut down and can not respond at all. Because we are at work, that's fine. But it is unlikely someone will tell the chief: "I am doing: we have a family dinner!". Even if he calls on a weekend or late at night.

Bringing work home has become commonplace. Sitting on your sofa surrounded by the most dear people, we continue to think about business and do not release the notebook from the hands. It seems to be talking with his wife, and read the report yourself, like check the lessons from his son, but we correspond with our partners.

"How else? Without me, everything will collapse! In the end, I was for a family I stick! "- is reasonable, but a little mischievously. Is the workflow will rise, if you turn off your phone at night and will not reply to emails after 19 hours?

Separate business and personal, if you want both of these areas developed harmoniously. If the truth is a lot of problems, spend an extra hour at the office, but do not take things with them. Crossing the threshold of the house, completely switch family. It is better to play with the children 40 minutes instead of an hour, but without distractions. Close appreciate and remember the moments when we are sincere and belong only to them.

Rule 2. Organize your life

How are your weekend? The majority of spending precious time off than cycling or family trips to the cinema. Half Saturday we replenish food stocks, the second half of getting out of the apartment, and on Sunday, preparing for the week ahead.

Organize your life so that he took away a minimum of time and effort.

Clean the housing of trash - the work on the house will be 40% less. It is better to maintain cleanliness, spending on it for 20-30 minutes a day (today the dust wiped, washed the floor tomorrow) than to get out of the whole weekend. Once a month or two arrange general cleaning. But do it with the whole family: order and hover, and chat. Even easier - to hire experts, and by heading out of town for a picnic.

Cooking is also possible to turn from the routine into a fascinating pastime. Why do half a day to spend on shopping trips, if everything can be bought on the Internet? Why polvechera stand at the stove, if you can just order dinner for yourself and loved ones?

In the market there are many gastronomic services: some brought food parcels and recipes for them (but this is again a waste of time and energy for cooking), while others (for example, a leader in its segment Delivery Club) Delivered to your home or office ready meals from your favorite restaurants and cafes. The choice is huge, the forces required only to make an order in a few clicks.

Rule 3. Remember the little things

My daughter examination in ear training, his wife's new haircut, my parents dog whelp - in the life of a lot of small things that we sometimes forget. After all, the family well-being, they have no effect. But such trifles and our relationship to it develops that eventually called love and family.

What you should once again kiss his wife before going to work, and on the way, standing in a traffic jam, daughter write SMS with a warning or a call to parents to inquire about the health of their favorite beetles, and mom and dad at the same time?

Rule 4. Find common interests

Well, when the father loves the bike, my mother - skiing, and children - rollers. Bad that combine these activities impossible. If each output runs up on their business, it is difficult to remain a team.

Common passion unites and simplifies the organization of leisure activities. Empirically, or find out what the family council, a business delivers all the same pleasure.

The family all like to swim? Buy a subscription to a common swimming pool and arrange a mini-competition. Fond of music? Put together, "Petrov-band» and spend the weekend family concerts. Do you like to travel? Make a list of places you could go on a weekend. Certainly far from your city has a unique nature reserve, old mansions and interesting museums.

Speaking of lists. How about a family bucket list? Try to make a collective list of what you need to get until you live in the world. You will learn about the secret desires of each other, and their implementation will become in the most vivid impressions of the family history.

Rule 5. Honor family traditions

They may seem archaic and useless to you. Parents every year brewed raspberry jam. What for? In the store you can buy even raspberry, cherry though. But do it with them. Suddenly open secret meaning? ;)

Teenagers family traditions sometimes enrage. Hanging around the house, instead of hanging out with friends, just because someone has decided that the new year - a family holiday. What a bore!

But tradition as a foundation. Over time, an understanding of their importance comes to all family members.

Family tradition - it is a strong spine. And if you have not the spine in order to bend the life force - I mean different trade-offs. Of trouble, trials need to make a difficult choice you will not escape, but it is better to place it with a straight spine.

If the above rules seem trivial to you and too easy, remember another quote: "All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

The crisis is often allowed to simply enough: less work and routine - more time together. Walk together, listen to music together, dine together. Be attentive and patient and give each other happiness.
