HOW TO BUILD YOUR DESIRED FAMILY.

How do you raise a healthy family even when you are not from one? Do you know that sustaining a marriage and raising children are challenging things to do but can be easier with proper planning, determination and prior written vision? Raising a healthy family entails a lot, it should therefore be planned, forecasted and mapped.

An important and first thing to do so a family can stand firmly is to have a vision to direct you and be determined to get it right. It is about laying a foundation to fall back on, a template of how you want your family to be, bearing in mind that having a healthy family is not just about a member of the family not falling ill. It is way more than that. You can read about other aspects of health in the post complete health. Concept of health embraces the social and mental aspects too, so a healthy family is complete in all these aspects.

It is important to have a vision, a picture of what you will like your family to look like. Before you develop a vision to run by, you should read books on family and stories of different families, seek adequate knowledge on what it takes to live in health. You can develop a family mission statement that will consider the family health in all aspects. Again, health is not only about not swallowing drugs or visiting hospitals. In your mission statement, you will cover the social, physical, mental and even spiritual aspects of being healthy.

After all the 500 words mission statement or fantastic vision, one must have a determined mind that can weather the storms and succeed in the test of time. Before you get married, have a picture of the healthy family you want.

As soon as you are engaged, sit with him or her and talk about how a family can live in health. How you both want a family to look like physically, mentally, socially and even spiritually. Get a pen and paper to write it down so both of you can run by it.

Here are questions to honestly ask yourself while preparing to have a family.

1. Whose family do I admire and why?

2. What kind of family do I want to raise?

3. What are the health issues in the family I came from and how can I avoid it in the family I want to build?

4. How did my parents or grandparents die? Of what disease? How can I prevent such in me so I can live longer as a healthy parent or grandparent?

5.Do I have a chronic disease? E.g Asthma, cancer e.t.c. how can I manage it such that it won't affect my family?

6.Do I have a disease that can spread to my children or partner? How can I prevent that?

7. Money is important in health, how can I sustain multiple streams of income?

8. What kind of a woman or man has what characteristics that can keep my family in health?

9. What is my genotype and what match is right for me?

10. How many children do I want to have, where, why and how often do I want to have them?

Do not let family happen to you suddenly, be responsible, plan, look before you leap. Honestly answer the above questions and then go ahead to picture the kind of family you want. Do not belittle the power of imagination. See with the eyes of your mind. In raising a family, you must have a vision, set some goals and follow it with Determination of mind.
