10 Reasons to choose Family over Love

In today’s times, we often see people being torn
between love and family. Families are splitting up
as one partner is not comfortable with the others
parents and their interference. We see that parents
keep waiting for a call from their children and
spend days in Old age homes waiting for someone
to come and greet them. But is this happening?
What is the reason that a person has to choose
between family, which has been there for him/her
and love, which is his/her possible future. What is
the right thing to do in such a case? If you ask me,
i would suggest you to let go of your love and
embrace your family, and here are 10 reasons why
this decision is the right one-

10) SAFETY

Family is a safety net for everyone. Wherever you

go, knowing that your family is by your side gives

you the confidence to face anything and

everything. I can guarantee you that had you not

had the protection cover of your family; people

would have definitely treated you differently. If

something wrong happens to you, it’s your family

that you expect the most from. Whereas this is not

the same case with love as most of the times the

relationship crumbles under strenuous times. With

love, it’s easy to break off the relationship when

your partner doesn’t meet your expectations, but

with family you can always tell them what you

expect and if the expectations aren’t met by, then

you might sulk for some time, but you can never

really break off from them.

9) SUPPORT

When you first started walk, you would fall just

after 2 very small steps. When you started cycling,

you would fall down ever so often that you would

never have touched that cycle again if it wasn’t

your Dad. Mom or elder brother/sister assuring

you that they would hold you and not let you fall.

Family will always support you whether you are

high up in the sky or struggling through life. They

would always be there holding your hand and

telling you to try again just one more time. Love on

the other hand has been known to suffer a setback

through the rainy days.

8) A SENSE OF BELONGING

Everyone needs to know their place in this world.

For human beings, who are extremely emotional

creatures, knowing where they come from is an

assurance that they deserve to be a part of the

macrocosm. You cannot have a happy relationship

if you are not complete in yourself. And family is

that place which gives you this assurance. If you

are lost, you can travel the whole wide world but

you will only be found at the doorstep of the place

where you were brought up.

7) ITS NOT LOVE

The simplest point is that love is not pure if it’s

asking you to let go of the most important thing in

life. True love will work hard for its survival, not

take the easy route by running away. If a person

really loves you, he/she will try their best to prove

to your family that they are the best for you. They

would try and be a part of the family than destroy

it. If you boyfriend ever tells you to elope, do run,

but in the opposite direction from him.

6) FAMILY HELPS YOU GROW

Family lays the foundation of your whole

existence. You would be surprised to know that

research has proved that the way a person has

been brought up actually has a huge influence in

that persons relationships when they grow up. A

person at various stages in live goes through

different experiences that are the deciding factor in

whether he/she might have a successful or not so

successful life, the family support plays a very

important role in this. Love on the other hand

takes you into a bubble and when that bubble

burst, realisation strikes and it is not always a

happy ending.

5) THERE IS ONLY ONE FAMILY

 You can never replace family or get a new one if
you wanted to. They are limited edition beings and
hence if you let go of it once, you might find
yourself an orphan. Love on the other hand will
come and go like the seasons. If one relationship
fails, you can always move on and find one
someone who your family approves off. And you
will still end up having quite a wonderful life. But
you leave your family and go with love; you will
always feel that it is because of love that you lost
one of the most important things in life which is
the support, love and blessings of your loved ones

4) JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

Your parents will accept you however you are.

They do not have any conditions. If you are a quit

person, they will give you your space; if you are a

loud person, they will get use to your voice.

Parents, siblings know how you are and they

behave with you in that way. With family you can

just be. If they think that you are wrong, they will

advice you of it and that’s it. But love on the other

hand has rules and regulations. There are certain

expectations and when you do not follow the code,

there are chances of breaking up. In love, you have

to think before doing something. With family, they

already understand what you are trying to say

even when you aren’t able to utter a single word.

3) FAMILY IS ETERNAL

Family is forever. They are there when you are

born. They are there when you first start crawling.

They are there when you have your first laugh and

when you utter your first word. If you look back

on life you’ll see that most of your happy

memories will include members of your family.

Family was and will always be there, even when

love doesn’t work out. Love on the other hand is

not something that is guaranteed. Even after

marriage, there is constant work required from

both partners to sustain love. Love can hardly be

called eternal; otherwise divorce wouldn’t have

been so famous.

2) UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Your parents do everything for you when you are a

child. They suffer to send you to the best school

and work like dogs to ensure that their kids have a

royal life. They take all your whining and make it

look adorable. They never ever want anything in

return. They will always love no matter what you

do. It’s the most selfless and unconditional form of

love if there ever existed any. Love on the other

hand is a matter of give and take. It always

expects something in return and when that need is

not fulfilled it’s gone.

1) IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVING YOUR

FAMILY

Family is where life begins and love never ends.

People while growing always forget that their

parents are also getting old and they need their

support now more than ever. It has always been

said that true heaven lies in the feet of your

parents. Seeing them have a content life at the

twilight of their life is a joy that no date or kiss

can ever give you. But honestly it should always be

difficult to choose between love and family. There

is a solution to it. You can have both by making

your love a part of your family.
