7 Habits of Happy Families That You Should Adopt Today
Iconic Media is all about posting positive ways we all can strive to be better at our most personal level: with ourselves, our mates and our families.
Most people talk about the things that are wrong in society and spend all day outraged about so many topics.
But what can you do to have a happy family?
We are here to share 10 habits that will help you have the Iconic family that is worth the risk in love.
Habit #1: Play time
Your family should be more than just your responsibility. It should be Iconic with time set aside to make memories and to really enjoy each other. You have to be intentional because kids grow up and couples grow older.
Make time to play with your family. For example, family vacations time at the park or even to museums, plays and concerts. Look for family-based deals, group packages or even tag alone with extended. family.
We grow busy with careers and responsibilities but make the time to relax and enjoy the ones that all the hard work is for.
This is us playing around back in 2015 in Tennessee. We had a family vacation in Dolly Parton’s backyard and thought this would be fun to do, robbing a stagecoach.
We were pretty bad bandits that day, creating memories.
(The boy even wished for his sister at the wishing well).
Habit #2: Prayer time
God can deliver us from so much. We try so much of our time to carry every burden, decision and strife, but go to the Lord in prayer. In fact, go to God as a family, praying over each other, looking out for each other and loving each other as best as you can.
My family always prays for each other before one of us leavings in the morning or to go on an errand of some kind.
We pray at the dinner table. We pray to be thankful to the Lord who has brought us a long way.
Share in your spiritual journey so your kids can see how you handle life’s challenges together and where your help ultimately comes from.
Show them to go to God even when things are okay. These habits start at home.
Habit #3: Cleaning Up
Chores are something that have to be done. But you can make it a team effort. Kids can help with raking the grass, planting new things in the garden and organizing their rooms.
Our son can go with us to the store to pick out new shower curtains for his bathroom, new pillow and sheet coverings for his bed and our daughter can pick new stuffed animals for her bedroom.
Cleaning up can be a learning experience because kids can understand they have a responsibility to pick up after themselves and we can also make it a game.
My son and I use to race to see who could fold the fastest or the kids would play in the hampers as little vehicles.
Anytime you get a change to bond with your family, use it. Time waits for none of us.
Habit #4: Getting Quality Education
We decided last year to homeschool our children due to problems with our son’s local public school. After years of meetings and such, we decided this is the best route for our child.
Do what works for you and your kids. But do your research. That are tons of material out there to help parents today that didn’t exist years ago.
There are also social media groups, homeschooling co-opts and retired teachers willing to help.

One of my favorite things to do is to go to the local bookstore and library to pick up the latest information on educations, games and curricular activities to add to what our children can learn.
Don’t try to go at this all alone. Too much information now exists to make learning a struggle.
Even parents are now going back to school to pick up extra degrees and to learn new skills.
The virtual marketplace is vast for obtaining skills and knowledge in any area that you are ready to get into whether it is entrepreneurship, real estate, brokerage investing and more.
Education never stops and never stop learning.

Habit #6: Eating Together
Nothing warms the soul better than a hot cooked meal. Cooking was such a passion of mine; it was my job in the United States Army.
Cooking is the one thing you can do, and we all do at every meaningful event. So why not share it with the ones you love? Couples can grow intimacy with putting together their favorite desert, parents can put smiles on kids’ faces preparing the foods their children enjoy most, and
Habit #7: Better Communication
All people in the family matter. A healthy and happy family has consistent and constant communication with each other, not hiding secrets, harboring resentment or telling lies.
Nothing breaks the bond of a family than bad communication. Truly good family structures can listen and hear when someone is hurting, anticipate needs and show grace.
Parents can listen to their kids and understand that children do not have the same level of skill here that adults should. We take the leadership role to be present and to nurture good habits by leading from the front and by example.
We use our words to uplift and empower not to dehumanize, disrespect or belittle. We encourage our children and spouses to be the best versions of themselves and extend grace/forgiveness when we need to do it.
We mean what we say, take responsibility for our actions and we give our all to achieve our families’ goals and vision on a daily basis. This life is 24/7 and we are intentional with doing right by the people we love.
Habit #8: Remember the Love
We don’t forget why we are in an Iconic marriage and family, to build social empires that thrive. We cannot thrive on happiness without love.
Love is an Action word, and we show it by doing all of the other things above to ensure that our family is safe, secure and whole.
Societal problems stem mostly from the breakdown of our family structures and in order to take back our country from an intrusive government and a flailing culture war, we must first start at our families.
That means doing our duties by our spouses, really participating in the rearing of well-to do children and being fully present in the moment of our lives.
Key Takeaway
Healthy families contribute to them but being available and doing the hard work to getting them to a place of building a legacy that last.
If you aren’t willing to do the work, don’t make vows and babies.
Families are the backbone of our society, and no amount of legislation can fix what only we ourselves can do.
Take back your community by first building your four walls.
And remember in all that you do, be Iconic.
