Living in a joint family teaches us many things.But now a days we could see very rare joint family.Staying in joint family is of great fun.

This is very true.
I have seen as well as heard that in a joint family, men can somehow adjust and live quitely but women keep quarreling. Rise of many nuclear families is result of such domestic quarrels.

That's true, most of the misunderstandings and quarrels arise out of some minor incidents...The way people react to situations and the attitude of the society , all have an impact on the family structure and joint family system has been at the receiving end ...In a way it is inevitable with the westernisation and modernisation seeping into our society and women becoming more career conscious !

But joint family is rare now. every couple likes to live alone with husband or wife. So Children don't get such lesson from any,how to respect elders


That is not completely true, one may live independently but you do have your family elders for whom you continue to have the same regard and respect . Just living in joint families don't necessarily mean that every one respects the elders, they may do so out of practice and the feeling may not be genuine with everyone ...I have seen many joint families where the youngsters are waiting to get free..

What I feel is that another major factor, that is the lack of communication or more precisely, unwillingness to communicate properly with other family members usually is a cause for rift in a joint family. I have seen many an ugly incidents happening in a few families that I know because of this. And yes, also since women choose to work outside is a cause of friction amongst other women in the family.

Yes envy and jealousy can easily disintegrate a family .Kalyani, I agree that it is more unwillingness rather than lack of communication, probably has to do with ego and pride.No one wants to bend and be the first ones to compromise ,,

Dressing sense and the life style also changed. In the past, men used to wear dhoti-shirt and women saree. But nowadays it has changed to pant-shirt and salwar.

Yes, that is so true Usha!! Also, it is natural that a member may want to do certain things only for his wife and children and not for other children in the family. This leads to a misunderstanding and causes friction!
