Comparative analysis of family relations in religious and secular families

Abstract

Religious families are families in which faith and religion play an important role in daily life and influence the relationships between family members. These relationships, in turn, can be diverse and depend on the particular beliefs and practices of each family. One of the characteristics of relationships in religious families is that they are based on shared beliefs and values. Religion can provide a basis for building unity and solidarity in the family, as faith and religious practices can become central elements of daily life. This can create increased and prolonged contact between family members and strengthen their understanding and support for each other. However, relationships in religious families can also be subject to stress and strain. This can be due to the strict requirements and rules set by religious teachings, which can create conflicts and discrepancies between family members. For example, disobedience to religious law or a change of religion by a family member can cause disagreements and breakdowns in relationships.
