Counseling Service of Spouse in Single Family

Abstract

The beginning of family, which 2 persons decided to live together
with love and care, is considered to be the conjugal relationship. They
descended by having their own children. If they did not have children, they
could adopt other children to be their adopted child. This kind of family
calls single family. Sometimes, it is called modern family that is consisted of
husband, wife, and children. Each family member has strong relationship.
Because 2 persons with different sex, age, family, social condition,
and environment decided to live together, they have to adapt themselves
together both daily life, work, emotion, and thought. Having the new roles
and duties in the new family, they have to adapt their understanding.
Sometimes, it is found that some couples can’t adapt themselves together.
Therefore, the most important thing that helps 2 persons from different
family to live together happily is the good understanding. Buddhism believes
that happy married life is having 4 qualities which make a couple well
matched that are consisted of 1. to be matched in faith 2. to be matched
in moral 3. to be matched in generosity and 4. to be matched in wisdom.
These 4 qualities can decrease problems of spouse in single family
effectively. Besides, they will have love and good understanding which are
considered to be the strong family and strong social basis in the future.
