God provided for the family

Children with firm family ties more likely to feel happy and confident

We already knew that a nurturing family can reduce the chances of children developing depression or anxiety - now there's evidence that children from caring families are also more likely to feel happy and confident

Children who feel more connected to their families are more likely to flourish, according to a large international study.

It is well known that children with stable, nurturing families are less likely to experience depression or anxiety, become violent or misuse drugs. But little research has looked at potential positive effects.

Robert Whitaker at Columbia University in New York and his colleague colleagues analysed data from a survey of over 37,000 children aged 11 to 13.   

This is the way it should be. By  giving us family, God  wanted the best for us. It did not bring up homosexsualism.
