[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During Pre-Canna, our priest told us that families were happier in smaller homes.  OP's post got me thinking about that.  I guess in a small home, you are really together--issues need to be discussed, whether you fight or make up, or whatever, you cannot hide in some distant part of the house.  (I've also been told that "fighting" or simply disagreeing isn't the worst thing -- it's when you stop caring or have contempt.)[/quote]

I really agree with thus. 
There was a series on pbs called Frontier House. One affluent family went in the show with their three kids and a niece. All 6 people lived in probably a 500 sq. Foot cabin for weeks. They genuinely looked and acted happy. They said in their past life they all got along really well, ate dinner together every night and hung out together in their old house. After the show ended they moved from a house in well off family suburb in LA to a house 3 times larger in Malibu. They ended up divorcing within a year. The wife commented that they went from always being together to rarely seeing each other in their humongous house in Malibu.

I don't know why but that has stuck with me somehow and influenced me in deciding to live in a house that isn't too big (2000 square feet) with my family. [/quote]
