Family first is an idea that across nations as well as periods of time. It's an outdated idea which underlines the significance of our connections and their impact on our lives.
Family is the safety blanket that saves us when we tumble, the foundation that keeps us steady when life becomes tough. They are the people that love us unconditionally, understand our differences, and accept us for who we are. When we value them, we strengthen those relationships and build a support system that can get us through any type of weather.
But don't forget that valuing family doesn't imply sacrifice.

I agree with this because family should be your first priority be it a man or woman no exemption, it is important for husband and wife to take the utmost responsibility in making their family a good one, be a good example to others out their for them to imitate your family and learn from it.
There will be no other people that shall be concerned with the family that you've made. It should be you, your wife, and your husband, that should take accountability for the family that you have. You may have your brothers, sisters, and parents but still, your own family is the priority. Regardless of what you're working for and with, they still should take your time and have a bond with them. Time is truly so fast and it is passing by, you'll never notice that you've been working for years and yet you haven't allocated a lot of time to your family. Protect your peace through your family and always give them the time that they deserve just as how you've given time to your activities and work.

Charity begins at home and home is the family. Your family is your root. Therefore, most of the characters that you portray in the society is a product of your background, and that is the family.
The importance of family can not be overemphasised. If something happens to a person, like accident or even in the case if death. It is the person's family that is contacted first, not friends or colleagues. Even in the case of inheritance, sometimes long lost family members are contacted. So it good to maintain family ties.
Also in the nuclear family, being the husband, wife and children. This is the most integral part of family life, so being together and having time for one another is the most important. Children can easily go astray if the parents don't spend time with them. Husbands and wives should always make plans for quality time with the whole family.

In the real sense, family will always comes first because they are the ones that will only accept you for who you are and they are willing to stand by you unconditionally, but note that not all family are like that, some family members are ready to throw you under the bus at any slight opportunity, those set of people don't even care how you are faring.
Me as a person, I don't only recognize blood relatives as family, any one that loves me unconditionally, to me he or she is my family, an those set of people are my real bloodline because it is only them that can make me go out of my way.

If the family is not properly managed and the husband and wife do not give each other valuable time then there will be trouble in that family. To spend time with loved ones, the two meet with the consent of the family. All these troubles are hidden in the three factors of underestimation, waste of time, anger that leads to destruction. But I want everyone to spend precious time with loved ones in the family so that a family can survive if the husband and wife are addicted to deep love. People's needs are constantly changing so it is best to stay together in a family. Family is an illusion that can never be forgotten. Arrogance, underestimation, waste of time, anger if these are avoided from within a person will surely lead to a happy world.
They say we do not choose the people who we come to life with as family, but life itself chooses them for us. Sacrifices are made for family but it does not mean that you should permit yourself to be taken advantage of just because the person is family. Also family is not only by blood similarity, there are some people that will come into our lives in the course of living that will become family, we should be able to treat them like family and not outsiders.
I still believe that even though family is important and we should start a family when we can. I do not think doing it when one does not have economical safety is a good idea, though.
Why would I marry and have children if I cannot even provide to myself so I can live in a comfortable enough way? That is why it bothers my mind a bit when I see people living in poverty and in the outer limits of the cities and still having children that they cannot even send to school. It does not sound like a good plan in my opinion.
Would not be easier just to stay single and only being responsible of oneself in the meantime?
Some of us got married when the economy was good. There were jobs everywhere and our local currency had value. My salary used to be enough to take care of my family because of the strong purchasing power of our currency. But years after, things began to fall apart and life started becoming difficult. My salary has not been increased for many years in an economy that is going through hyperinflation. I never though that my country's economy will be as bad as this that's why I had more than two children.

The economy of an individual or nation is unpredictable so marrying because you are financially stable is good but don't forget that you can lose the money. If you feel that you can live a fulfilled life without marriage and children, then you can decide not to marry and enjoy your life. This is because marriage and childraising are expensive.
It is fair. I had kinda forgotten that was also a possibility, that good times come, there are savings jobs, security so one decided to start a family and all goes to hell because politicians being irresponsible.
I guess, it is kind of inevitable for many, thanks for pointing it out.

There are quite a number of things that pushes people into getting married, these may include;Why would I marry and have children if I cannot even provide to myself so I can live in a comfortable enough way?

Societal pressure
age barrier
religious believes
procreation etc.
Some people believe their finance will turn around once they get married since the holy book states that, "who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favour from God..." so these anticipated favour has pushed many people into marriages without proper plans.
However, you would agree that there are those that have actually created this fortune for themselves after getting married through hard work with their spouse. Hence, a certain percentage of the people with plenty children suffering in poverty and hardship directly reflects ignorance and maybe unwillingness to work.
Despite all these factors, i believe a man can start his own family whenever he has the resources and willingness to take good care of them.
Well, I am the kind of person who would not blindly follow one religion when comes to matters like having children or personal finances, but I get it is different according to where one lives.
Also, that fragment of the book does not mention or takes in consideration that there are bad women which could make their husband life's miserable, obviously there are other written norms about marriage in religion, but we cannot discuss about this topic only keeping in mind one single commandment or divine advise.
In general, your statement makes perfect sense, given that everyone lives in a family and that everyone has family ties. Unfortunately, this is not the case for everyone and some may find themselves living in a fatal loneliness (I am one of them) given that my relations with the family were severed for a long time. It is not possible to determine an order of priorities that applies to all people, since our ideas differ according to our circumstances.
Well, family first. But have you ever thought about what it would be like if that family did not consider you as valuable as you are? Do you think it would be useful to spend time and effort betting on a horse that most likely will fail? I don't like the idea of what is more important, family or money. Each has its merits and shortcomings, and they cannot be arranged in order of priority if they represent two vital elements in an individual's life. Personally, I do not see any of them fit to be a priority, and if I wanted one of them badly, I would accept the other despite its disadvantages.

There are certain things you would go through as an individual and seek for some sort of assistance from "your family" and get non whereas strangers or friends will be willing to move mountains to get it done. I consider family as those that can stand by you through thick and thin and not those just related to you by blood.
As you have rightly said, the circumstances vary for individuals; If money (work) gives you peace, go for it! If the bonds you share with people gives you peace then go for it as well.
Personally, I do not believe much in the feasibility of family relationships in my life, but on the other hand, I am aware of their importance in forming a balanced society capable of coexistence.
I say I do not believe because my experience has taught me that everything that I can reach in terms of ambitions and achievements in my life can only be achieved without asking for help from family members or even friends. This may seem strange to you, but it is the truth, believe me.
Through this experience, I came to the conclusion that family relationships may be the best way for people who are unable to solve their problems on their own or in constant need of various types of assistance (such as those with organic disabilities, for example).
Family is the bedrock of every society, and as such deserves to be placed first before any other thing. But that doesn't mean one is ought not to give priority to his work or career, because from what I could understand by the story O.P just gave above, I will like to say that marriage is meant to be an understanding between two parties, of which thou money is a basic necessity, spending quality time with family members & good sex with partner is one thing that should never be overemphasized, because from observation, I could sense that's the big mistake this hardworking woman made, of which her husband took advantage of by impregnating her best friend.
So, in summary to all this, don't say because of money you regret your family, or neither will you say because of your quest to building a loving family, fail to look after money. But always try to create a balance between both two.
Life is worth living when you have those to spend your happy moments with; family.So, in summary to all this, don't say because of money you regret your family, or neither will you say because of your quest to building a loving family, fail to look after money. But always try to create a balance between both two.
If you fully focus on building your career and wealth without servicing or playing out your role to your family, the bond becomes severed and trust me, a broken home takes its own toll on your finances as well.
So, generally i feel those that have the best lives as those that keeps a perfect balance between business and family.

some people will abandoned their family just to make others fine, their will not provide for them none care for them. that is wrong, your family should be your priority in your decision making and actions plan. because when you land in trouble is your family that will come first before any other person. we must respect and care for the family first. this the only way we can have a better society.

Families that are not toxic and play their roles in giving hope and strong love to each other are worth giving your life and spending your time with them the time and that's the kinds of families we always want to have especially when we do help each other by doing good things. When the kinds of families you are living are those who always down you or if something went wrong they always put the blame on you, you won't wish to be with them forever rather you will strive to look for another company that will gonna live happily with you, this is why most people when they finally found their lifetime partners, they will mostly find another place that is far from their families to live a peaceful happy life.

Your opinion is good but you don't have to see the world in that pattern. Based on your topic, "Family first" if something that we don't need to out on concentration to just like myself because your family can always come against you. They can even hurt you and not bother about your feeling or who you are to them. Everyone has different opinion here and is not bad.
Family is everything, family should even be our essence for existence..
You've said all that's ought to be said, advice given and no stone is left unturned.
It's left for those in this situation to do the best the can.

I agreed with you, for each family to be unity and love, family can never be compare to money, business or work because the bounds is blood stream likely to be framed as one which nothing should breaks. I love seeing a lovely families fills with loves, happiness and joy. They usually shares ideas, business and careers. They promotes education of family members, you can see a colourful life together weather wealthy or otherwise. But dear, there is more to it than what you see and heard, many families are living in broken homes, nobody is relating with each other because they're many circumstances behind it. Like you mention a man impregnated the wife's friend, this things happens always, marriage is another heaven and hell to learn that's why some do not last while others do.
But I also encourage love in the families, we should experience this unusual strength for each other, add a colourful and blissful time together for social events, shares ideas, worries and help each other. Makes life colourful at home even when people try to rumpled it outside.
