The family unit has specific function with relation to its members. It is the most important social institution, serving as the means of transferring culture from one stage to another. Sharing of works among the members of the family is a strong influence in keeping the family together. Thefamily developmental task is a set of ordered stages that progress from birth to death, which make up the family life cycle.
Each stage has developmental tasks that
are to be accomplished by both parents and children. Coupling – the family begins at the establishment of a common household by two people. Individual independence to couple. Becoming Three-and more – family life is initiated by the arrival and subsequent inclusion of the first child. Entrance – this occur at the point of entrance into school. Facilitation of beginning separation. Expansion – the entrance of the last child member of the family into the community. Exists – the first complete exit of the dependent member from the family.

Lookfor someone who is kind and loving. If
you’re really lucky, your partner will also have a family that taught him or her how to be that way. Make sure that you have enough differences that, if you are unable to go out, you can still entertain each other.
Physical compatibility has more to do
with touch than it does with sex. If you’re a tactile person, you need to be with someone who shares that desire. Beware of people who want to get married immediately. Engagements were created for reason. Find someone who makes you laugh. A sense of humor can help you overcome many of life’s obstacles. How will he or she respect you? You should know, learn and find out the level at which your spouse respects his or her parents. Our parents are responsible foe our progress, our development and our upbringing. Before choosing a spouse, you need to know the person’s level of commitment to his or her siblings. Because they grew up together, played together, suffered and made progress together. If the person does not love, tolerate, and respect his or her siblings, then how can your spouse respect you. Other things that should consider before choosing a spouse are; honestly, sincerity, generosity, tolerance, understanding, his love for other people or his maturity. One must make sure that he fully scrutinizes the person or she wants to marry so as to have a successful, and responsible family in the future. Courtship is a rather outdated word used to describe the activities that occur when a couple is past the dating stage and in more serious stage of their relationship. It happens before the couple becomes engaged or married and is usually meant to describe when a man is attempting to woo a woman, with marriage as the end goal. Dating has a more informal connotation and implies that the couple is not necessarily exclusive. A primary role of a married person is to fulfill the need for a committed friendship – a confidante and solid supporter with whom you can share affection, insecurities, success, fears, plans and goals. This is an assurance that you need not face life’s tribulations alone, and even extends to the opportunity of lying in rest together upon death.
