What This Module is About

This module is all about the foundation of society which is primarily responsible
for shaping the lives of its members. It is a small unit where socialization begins to
provide guidance in improving one’s personality in order to become more
productive and useful citizens of the country.

The values of integrity, love, and honesty begin in the family where each
member has his/her own role to play in the attainment of a healthy family life.

It is expected that every family has its own members who are willing to help
one another and accept who the members are. This is where you are supposed to
be comfortable to share your happiness and sadness. In times of challenges, your
family members are the first people to comfort and encourage you to become
strong and face the challenges. They help you survive through tough times and
bring joy and happiness into your life.
Today, most people don’t realize the importance of family; they prefer to spend
most of their time with their friends. But when they are surrounded with challenges,
it is expected that their family is the first to help them solve the problem. So, it is
very important for each and every individual to give importance to his her family
above anything else. It is helpful to spend our precious time to our family especially
in times of sorrow, sadness, and joy because this is one way of building a healthy
relationship.

What’s New

Courtship

https://rb.gy/xezwi6
is the period in a couple's relationship which precedes their engagement and marriage
or it is an establishment of an agreed relationship of a more enduring kind. During courtship a
couple get to know each other and decide if there will be an engagement or such agreement.
A courtship may be an informal and private matter between two people or may be a public
affair or a formal arrangement with family approval.

Different Traditional Practices of Courtship in the Philippines

Ilocos and Tagalog regions

In Ilocos, serenading is known as tapat, "to be in front of the woman’s house” likely the
same to harana and also to the balagtasan of the Tagalogs. The suitor begins singing a
romantic song, then the courted lady responds by singing too.
Rooster courtship, a form of courting in Luzon is done differently. The rooster is assigned to
be the "negotiator", wherein the male chicken is left to stay in the home of the courted to crow
every single morning for the admired lady's family.
Bulacan
In the province of Bulacan in Central Luzon, the Bulaqueños have a kind of courtship
known as the naninilong which means serenading from the basement. At midnight, the suitor
goes beneath the nipa hut, a house that is elevated by bamboo poles, then prickles the
admired woman by using a pointed object to catch the attention of the sleeping lady, after they
converse in whispers.

1
Kalinga
The Ifugaos practice a courtship called ca-i-sing or ebgan to Kalingas and pangisto to
Tingguians, where a man and a woman are separated into "houses". The house for the males
is called Ato, while the house for females is known as the olog or agamang. The man visits
the woman’s house to sing romantic songs and the woman reply to these songs also through
singing. The courtship ritual is guarded by the elders who inform the parents of both parties
about the progress of the courtship process.

Batangas
In Batangas a traditional eve of the wedding procession is done. The purpose is to
bring the cooking ingredients for the celebration to the bride’s home, where refreshments
awaits.

Pangasinan
In Pangasinan, folks utilizes the taga-amo, which means "tamer", a form of love potions
or charms which can be rubbed to the skin of the admired. It can also be in the form of drinkable
potions. The suitor may also resort to the use of palabas, meaningshow or drama, wherein
the woman succumbs to revealing her love to her suitor, who on the other hand pretends to
commit suicide if the lady does not confess her true feelings.

Apayao
The Apayaos has a practice that allows a man and a woman to sleep together during
the night. This is known as mahal-alay. This form of courting assists in assessing the woman’s
feeling for her lover.

Palawan
In Palawan, they perform courtship through the use of love riddles or pasaguli. The
purpose of the love riddles is to assess the sentiments of the parents of both suitor and
admirer. After this pabalic / pabalik is done to settle the price in a form of dowry that will be
received by the women from the courting man.

Visayas
When courting, Cebuanos also resort to serenading, called balak. They also write love
letters that are sent through a trusted friend or relative of the woman. Presents are not only
given to the woman, but also to her relatives. They also use love potions to win the affection
of the woman.
Man from Leyte performs the pangagad or paninilbihan instead of paying a form of
dowry during courtship. The suitor accomplishes household and farm chores for the family of
the woman. The service normally lasts for approximately a year before the man and woman
can get married. It is also referred to as subok - a trial or test period for the serving suitor. In
Bicol, it is called pamianan.

Mindanao
Palabas, sarakahan tupul, or magpasumbahi, is practiced by the Tausugs of
Mindanao. A suitor would threaten to stab his heart while in front of the courted woman’s
father. If the father of the woman refuses to give her daughter’s hand to the suitor, the suitor
is smitten by a knife.

The Bagobos, on the other hand, sends a knife or a spear as a gift to the home of the courted
woman for inspection. Accepting the weapon is equivalent to accepting the man’s romantic
intention and advances.
A man can court a woman through Facebook, Twitter, Skype or other social
networking sites.

DATING

https://rb.gy/xezwi6
is a social activity which involves two or more people generally assessing each other’s
suitability for a potential relationship. Dating can also be enjoyed as part of an already active

MARRIAGE

https://rb.gy/kjv4zi

Marriage is the most enjoyable human relationship. It is the most significant event that
may happen to your life. It takes only two people, a man and a woman to unite and make a
successful relationship as married couple.
Marriage is a lifelong partnership of a man and a woman, two unique individuals, who

consequences and practices are governed by law and not subject to stipulation except that
the marriage settlements may to a certain extent fix the property relations during the marriage.

and children are conceived, raised, and nourished to become useful and productive citizens
of the country and the world. It is essential to the continuity of the human race.

Here are some ways you can make quality time happen in your family:
1. Use everyday time together to talk and share a laugh. ...
2. Have one-on-one chats with each family member to strengthen individual relationships. ...
3. Set aside time with your partner, if you have one. ...
4. Do regular, fun things together as a family.

Why family relationships are important:

Good family relationships are enjoyable for their own sake – it just feels good to be part of a warm
and loving family.

But good family relationships are important for lots of other reasons too. They:

 make children feel secure and loved, which helps their brains develop
 can help to overcome difficulties with children’s eating, sleeping, learning and behaviour
 make it easier for your family to solve problems and resolve conflict
 help you and your children respect differences of opinion as your children develop more
independence
 give children the skills they need to build healthy relationships of their own.

This is why it’s always worth looking at the relationships you share with your children and other
family members, and thinking about how you can improve them.

As a parent, you’re doing the best you can for your children, probably while you’re juggling work,
friends, household management and more. But even for the busiest of parents, there are plenty of
easy things you can do to develop good family relationships.

Strong families grow from love, security, communication, connection – and a few rules and routines
too.

Conflict is a normal part of any relationship. But the way conflict is handled is important.
Here are 6 ways to cultivate a healthy relationship when it comes to handling differences:

1) Identify your way and your spouse’s way of handling differences. For example, do you tend
to rationally go at a problem and he tends to avoid? Joe wanted to listen to his teen daughter’s
reason for disobedience before he decided her punishment. Rachel felt the reason was unimportant
and was ready to levy the consequence. Both realized that their different styles had to be
acknowledged. Then it was up to the couple to decide what to do.

2) Develop a compatible style of handling differences. An avoider and a fighter don’t do well
together. If both of you avoid, you may do well because the styles are compatible. The same is true
of two fighters, but when a fighter and avoider get together, accommodations in style differences will
need to be made.

11
3) Choose a biblical model for handling differences. For example, look at Matthew 18: Go to the
person, address the problem, bring in another person if you get stuck, etc.

4) Practice anger management. Review the guidelines in my Breaking Free from Anger and
Unforgiveness book. Anger is not wrong, but you can sin in the way you handle anger. For example,
no shouting, name-calling, holding on to unresolved anger, etc.

5) Choose to forgive and move towards reconciliation.

6) Agree to disagree over the nonessential differences. Sometimes the best thing to do is to
simply allow the differences. For example, rolling toilet paper up or down is not a life sustaining
difference. if your partner does it differently, is it really that big of a deal?

Remember, differences are normal. How they are handled is what is important.

 We all have the innate need to be loved, heard and respected. But our struggles to
effectively communicate may leave us feeling misunderstood and may even contribute to
issues in our personal, interpersonal and work relationships.

Healthy Relationship is to promote, encourage, and support healthy relationships

by providing educational skill based programs for singles, couples and parents. Healthy
Relationships helps singles, couples, parents and organizations build and maintain
stronger and healthier relationships.

What make a healthy relationship?

A healthy relationship is when two people develop a connection based on:
1. Mutual respect
2. Trust
3. Honesty
4. Support
5. Fairness/equality
6. Loyal
7. Good communication
8. A sense of playfulness/fondness

All of these things take work. Each relationship is most likely a combination of both healthy
and unhealthy characteristics. Relationships need to be maintained and healthy relationships
take work. This applies to all relationships; work relationships, friendships, family, and
romantic relationships.

What are signs of a healthy relationship?

A healthy relationship should bring more happiness than stress into your life. Every
relationship will have stress at times, but you want to prevent prolonged mental stress on
either member of the relationship.

While in a healthy relationship you:

1. Take care of yourself and have good self-esteem independent of your relationship
2. Maintain and respect each other’s individuality
3. Maintain relationships with friends and family
4. Have activities apart from one another
5. Are able to express yourselves to one another without fear of consequences

10. Trust each other and be honest with each other
11. Have the option of privacy
12. Have respect for sexual boundaries
13. Are honest about sexual activity if it is a sexual relationship
14. Accept influence. Relationships are give and take; allowing your partner to influence
you is important; this can be especially difficult for some men.
15. Resolve conflict fairly: Fighting is part of even healthy relationships, the difference is
how the conflict is handled.

Summary

Choosing a lifetime partner involves some processes; crushes or infatuation, dating,

courtship, and engagement are practiced and exercised.
Dating leads to the development of intimacy between couples. Dating is very helpful in
developing a healthy relationship. A couple or group can date by meeting or going together to
different public places, such as the restaurants, movie theaters, recreational parks, etc. or attend
occasions like parties, fiestas, and other celebrations. Dating provides you quality time to know
the person better. Best of all, couple or group dating is fun if done responsibly.
There are different traditional courtship[s practices in the Philippines. In Batangas, men
serenade their admired women by singing Tagalog love songs; In Pangasinan, the suitors use love
potions or charms; In Visayas, men write love letters; In Palawan, people use love riddles; while
some men in Mindanao give spears or knife to the home of the courted women. Nowadays, a
courtship through the use of cellphones, internet, and social media is being practiced. This is
exciting and fun too but must be done with caution especially by young and innocent teenagers
like you.
