Family Day: What does it mean to you?

Family can be much more than a group of people with a family relationship. Whereas the term used to be defined more narrowly and was limited to married, heterosexual couples with biological and legitimate children, today it is much more open. What does family mean to you personally? Feel free to write us your thoughts on this in the comments section! 

Nowadays, friends are often referred to as family and many people also consider pets to be family members in the broadest sense. However, the topic of family is much more complex. Many people have a rather ambivalent relationship with individual family members. Issues such as breaking down role models and the self-realization of individuals within a family unit also play a major role. Just like economic challenges, for example.

How do you personally define the term "family" and which values are particularly important to you? In your opinion, to what extent has the family image changed in recent decades and what advantages or disadvantages do you see in this? How do you deal with the challenges of family life? Does work-life balance play a major role for you in the context of family? And finally, do you have any tips for other families on how to achieve a harmonious life together? We look forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
