Why No Functional Families in the Bible?

FamilyWhy are there no examples of functional families in the Bible?

The first family had a slight sibling rivalry. To protect his own hide, Abraham told the king Sarah was his sister. Joseph, his brothers and dad were totally dysfunctional. Isaac and Rebekah were lousy examples of how to raise twins. Even Mary and Joseph were inattentive enough to Jesus to leave him behind for two days. And the list goes on. Why the lack of a Biblical family model?

    Amen! Its nice to see someone who understands that people in the Bible weren’t perfect and always dressed in their Saturday best with smiles on. Instead they were real. They were real life people who went through real life struggles.
