The most resilient instituion is the family itself. In spite of marriage, families still work
Q. You have led a very eventful life which included two unhappily broken marriages. Has that affected your mind, body, creativity and work?T
Ans. Talking about body and work, I have 32 fractures. All breakages are painful especially when they are internal. But they had to be done, mutually, from both sides. I think all of us have moved on and, according to me, that institution is fast failing. On the other hand, the most resilient institution is the family itself. In spite of marriage, families still work.
Source :
The interviewee says first that "marriage/family institution is fast failing", but immediately in next sentence he says "most resilient institution is the family itself. In spite of marriage, families still work."
I wonder what he meant by that.
I know the meaning of each and every word in the group but I can't understand them together. Could you please rephrase it in a simple way?
Also I know resilient means " to return to the previous condition".
