You should know the different ways to be in the family.  The health of your love life determines the health of your family.  How you express your feelings and desires is passed as a model response to your children.

Everything matters in a family like how you will interact with the society, how you deal with the financial issues, the privacy and boundaries you establish, how you maintain the household and more. In some cases, individual needs are not as the same as those combined needs of the family together. 

Your sense of belonging to the family unit will identify when you do the individual roles expected of you to the fullest.  Social set backs can hurt your self-esteem, but emotional maturity warrants that you stay in a family and move ahead with a good sense of worth.  If you are effective and functional with an equally functional partner, you will sense self-worth, self-love, and self-acceptance and feel great about your love.

You want to experience love as a great feeling and not as something too petty to consider for living and patch up as a mode of co-existence.  To enjoy your love life, you have to tell the truth when it is important to tell the truth and you do not want to lie about it.  Be creative about dealing with situations rather than being over reactive than needed to stuff happening around.

Be clear about the end of your feelings and the beginning of the feelings of your partner.  Know where to stand without making others go crazy. Know what you can change and what you cannot change.  You want to feel self-conscious and develop a feeling of belonging.

You should adapt to your new love life positively without feeling scapegoat. Enjoy life being there around for all practical purposes and improve the quality of your love life.
