A dysfunctional family is one in which conflict and instabilities are common. In such a family, parents despise each other, abuse and neglect children.</p> <p>Most people looking at this dysfunctionalities at a distance and say "being together and unhappy is better than being alone and happy." However, being alone is comforting but being together brings good returns according to Amos 3:3 and Ecc 4:9-12</p> <p><strong>Characteristics of a dysfunctional family</strong></p> <p>To overcome these dysfunctionalities, we must understand that there is no perfect person.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, each partner especially men must be flexible to making their home better.
