misskriss 0 #4 March 2, 2004 A family doesn't have to consist of just a Father and Mother.. What about children who don't have both. What about orphans , etc. What about those who live with grandparents, aunts and uncles? A family is a group of people who love each other take care of one another. They don't even have to be related. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #5 March 2, 2004 QuoteA family is a group of people who love each other take care of one another. They don't even have to be related. I agree. Many members of what I consider my family aren't related to me by blood. I like sarge's answer. I love every member of my family. And I know they love me as well. edit to add - They must love me. Look how long they've put up with me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jraf 0 #7 March 2, 2004 Well sweetheart: Family - a place where the father takes care of his children and does NOT frequent PORN SITES on the web nor exchange EXPLICIT little notes with other site members. Family - both partners are physically and emotionally faithful to each other. Hello rhino :)jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

skyyhi 0 #8 March 2, 2004 By defining family to strictly mean Father and Mother etc. You limit all the other possibilities of family. I grew up with my wonderful loving grandparents. That was family. Now I have my roommate. . .he is family. And my skydiving friends. . .they are family. It never ceases to amaze me how big my "family" can get just by getting and giving love - unselfish, non-sexual, unmotivated by other needs. . .no strings attached love.________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunBobby 0 #9 March 2, 2004 I believe that blood is thicker than water, but I also believe that it is love (and not always blood) that makes a family. God Bless Bobby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eeneR 3 #12 March 2, 2004 QuoteFamily - both partners are physically and emotionally faithful to each other. This is the downfall with most relationships....Just because someone says they always come home to you every night physically doesnt mean that there is nothing wrong. Spending too much time emotionally with one of the oposite sex is just as bad, if not worse QuoteI believe that blood is thicker than water, but I also believe that it is love (and not always blood) that makes a family. True love and compassion will see thru the dark times, and be there to help thru. There are a lot of people that think they are in love, but cannot truely do so as they do not love themselves enough, much less love someone else. Being able to give of yourself to help another in need takes strength, and you cannot have that strength if you are unable to love youself....your are to busy battling your own feelings.....She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

misskriss 0 #14 March 2, 2004 QuoteSpending too much time emotionally with one of the oposite sex is just as bad, if not worse Completely agree with this one. When I was first married I remember my husband calling one of his "girl" friends (she was an ex) to discuss our problems. That is turning away from the relationship instead of working on it with the person you are actually involved with. I've been guilty of it as well but never again.

eeneR 3 #15 March 2, 2004 QuoteI've been guilty of it as well but never again. And so have I...I did it once, became very close to a coworker while I was engaged....nothing happend physically, however this person started to become a higher prioirty in my life...I realized this and broke it off with the fiance' never hooked up with the co-worker.....only for a month later for me to decide to go back and get married....only to decide then 4 years later that the reasons I broke it off the first time were valid reasons....it wasnt what I wanted for the long termShe is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
