One of the biggest problem of the country that are facing today are the problems in the family, broken marriage, rebellious children, quarrel in the family, dishonest or disloyal husband/wife and etc. Lots of wife or husband or children are not happy with their family. The question is, What is a Happy Family for you?

A happy family means being able to communicate with each other, and doing it in a loving way. A lot of family problems stem from being unable to speak or listen in a way that would make the other feel appreciated and loved.

Yes that's one of the reason why lots of a family had a quarrel because of lack of communication to each other.

For me a happy family is those that understand and respects one another.. It's like you are home when your with them, you will feel belonginess.That is a happy family. It makes every member of the family grow.

hi rbdescarting, A happy family is composed of love, trust, respect, honesty, and cooperation with each other. We can say that a family is a happy one if all of its members are there. If both husband and wife are doing their roles faithfully with each other and with their children, I don't think so that there will be so much problems around. Having some misunderstandings and quarrels in the family is an unavoidable thing. Having sadness, failures and frustrations are normal within a family. They are called spices of life. They are there to make the relationship of each family member stronger. I can say that I have a happy family. Even though both of my elder brother and sister are married and we are just four in our house, we still maintain to be happy. Our life is hard because the only job I have as of now is online. Mom has a small school supply store and dad is helping with mom. My youngest sister is still studying in college. We are living an ordinary life and sometimes we are feeling frustrated because it seems that money always comes out but then so rare to come back. However, despite of those situations, we still manage to be happy. We always help each other. We can still afford to smile and be satisfied with the food on the table even everyday we have same kind of food. We are still thankful that we have food to eat.
