Solution
“The building actually rests on the well laid out foundation and hence is strong and still” is a meaningful statement. Only when the foundation is built well, a building can stand on it firmly. Likewise, a foundation is very necessary for the formation of the family.
A family is like a building. It does not mean a house but it is a home. A family is an invisible or abstract thing. But it is a bond, a long-lasting relationship that holds a bond with each other. There are many values that one has to get the family bonding in the right manner.
A close family bond is like a safe harbour Bonding does not happen overnight. It is through a family we learn the values of love, trust, hope, belief, cultures, morals, traditions, and every little matter that concerns us. A strong foundation for any individual comes from being with a supportive family. As the building serves as a shelter, a family also protects us by all means.
We have parents who support us, teach us moral values in life, give us a strong foundation in character, teach us the importance of love and being loved trust for one another, and many other morals that could be obtained from a family. The family is created at birth and establishes ties across generations. Families are the foundation of society and create our personal template for giving and receiving love in intimate relationships.
