i have been wondering about the answer on this question that does successful family life speaks of a happy family? I know that problem arises sometimes inside a family and as i can see that not all rich family are happy,they have their countless blessings but still something's missing.. can you share your ideas about this? feel free.. :)

I think that a happy family is one that spends time together and the adults are positive role models for their children. Sucessful family life does well in this environment. Happy and sucessful run hand in hand with one another. Countless blessings come from the unification of family and always doing things together.

right! especially if the parents have always time to bond with their kids even though they're poor rather than having so much money but they don't have time to see each other. Thanks!

I would consider happiness to be more of a success than to be well off worldly wise. Of course to be living secure and in safety is very important too.. But family even during danger, to be happy to be together, is better than to not be happy to be together..

yes, if you're family is always a happy family you'll feel fulfilled like you're the most successful person in the world rather than nagging each other. Thanks!

Success means happiness. Therefore, how could you define success when it's not happy or mean sadness? Anyway, a successful family defines a happy family. Problems, trials are inevitable in life. Even the most successful people faces troubles. Same thing with family, even the recognized perfect family have flaws and not exactly perfect in the real essence.

I would agree on your opinion, I guess no matter how other would say that they are the one's who's so successful in family aspect, we cannot really say that all of these are true.. everyone has its own flaws..

It really depends on your pont of view when you speak of a successful family. When you speak of the wealth as measurement for success, it will really not equate with hapinness.

Hi friend, our happiness lies in our hands, money don't have the ability to buy happiness, so lot of rich families don't have peace of mind and happiness, successful family life means both the partner having good understanding, trust and lot of affection with each other. If both of the couples are loyal to each other and have more affection with them, they can lead a happy family life

Hi, I also believe that happiness and being successful in any aspects of your life is a choice, a choice that you can make or break. I guess having an understanding partner now a days are really hard to find..

There are still problems behind every successful family. They could be happy but there are still instances that they are not. Anyway, some people are not contented on what they have and look for more and this is also another reason why there are unhappy family despite of being a successful ones.

it doesn't follow.Successful family is opposite of what you said that speaks of happy family.Most of the successful family right now have the problem of how to make their family happy.Some tend to ignore each other because each one of the family member has the aim to be successful and worse sometimes they tend to become an enemy. It seems they praise much with the money ahich is coupled with success than their family.
