I think family councils are very important. I think it is important to council together as a family before something is wrong. Meaning that councils shouldn't only be to discuss something that is wrong or something that needs to be fixed. I think councils are good to have open communication and to discuss goals or other things together. Since being married I have learned how important it is so council together often. Having respect for what the other is saying during the council is something I think in crucial. It should be a safe place to talk about whatever you need to. I have also learned that there is a time and place for counseling. For instance I am not going to be in the mood for a family council if I am hungry haha.
Someone once shared with me that in their family growing up the had councils with their father in their home every fast Sunday. they called them Priesthood councils. The children would go in one by one and council with their father. Their father used this time to check in with his children and see if they needed anything or just wanted to check. This or something similar I would like to implement in my home with my future children. I want my kids to feel comfortable coming to their parents with whatever.
I think it is important that each family councils together to help build a bond and love for one another.
