simply being “in “love (no matter how strong we feel our love is-time will weaken that and you need more).
My thing is, you should never marry on those feelings but marry for the business of each other’s bounty and well being-first.
That’s how I feel about family.
Like marriage, I’m here (and should) be looking after, caring for, and overseeing your well-being in ways that a stranger (or even a friend) can’t or won’t do.
As family-I owe you that if you allow me and vice versa…which obviously requires communication like that of being friends. So if we are kin and we’re not truly friends, were only ‘technically’ family (accidents and coincidence delegated at birth).
Family needs friendship just like marriage needs business. Both: FIRST (in order for certain expectations to be had or met).
