Nowadays, everyone is so consumed with their own activities that we fail to look at our family as a whole unit. I think establishing a charter like this will help keep our family goals aligned. For instance, my family loves to help out at charity fundraisers because it's for a good cause so we always make it an effort to somehow give back- either by donating our time or attending the event and donating money.

The point I really like is setting up an agreed upon way that decisions will be made. I think very often the cause for conflict isn't always that the outcome is a decision someone disagrees with - rather, they feel the process wasn't fair and didn't give their perspective a fair hearing.

We have procrastinated on doing this in our family. We have basic ideas, but have not completely worked through them and printed it all out! This was just the push I needed to get this on our "to-do" list. Thanks for the encouragement! Love this! We have procrastinated on doing this in our family.

My husband and I have a list of things like that relating to our specific relationship, but I hadn't thought of applying the idea to the whole family. (And I still need to do this more thoroughly for my business...) Interesting idea.
