The most important things needed to live a good life can be summed up as having good social ties. Good social ties can include having a partner. They can also involve maintaining strong family ties and having close friends. Good social ties can be familial, or the strong social ties can be with friends.
I uphold strong family ties my spending time with my parents and my siblings. These gatherings can be one-on-one, or they can be in a group setting. I also uphold strong family ties by getting gifts for my siblings and my parents on their birthdays. I try to hang out with each of my family members one-on-one, too. This impacts our relationships in a positive way by strengthening trust and emotional intimacy between us.
What do you do to sustain strong family ties with your family?
