Broken Families break Society

Broken families lead to broken societies, distant communities, and empty neighborhoods.

My brother and I puzzled a lot. We had one puzzle where, in the end, one piece was missing.

We puzzled many landscapes to hang them up as pictures on the wall.

Once you found the missing piece, no matter how often you looked at the picture, you always noticed this missing piece.

There was an empty space.

When I think of broken families, I think of this incomplete puzzle.

It has almost all parts to be a beautiful landscape, but there is one piece missing.

This piece resembles the broken families.

They are the piece that’s open.

Healthy families can be the strong foundation to a thriving society.

What do we men, husbands, fathers, have to do with it?

We are responsible for the broken families.

It is our lack of leadership that breaks families.

We are tasked to lead our family.

So we should be there.

This is one of my favorite responsibilities, because most of the time, my family is my joy.

Yet there are hard times.

There are times when it is challenging, and I don’t have the answers going forward.

It is still important that I step up and lead.

It is my reaction that can keep my family whole or break them.

It is my decision to stay and fix it or to leave.

Let’s make our families strong – even when it’s hard sometimes!

​

You got this, brother!
