Responsibility. Everyone knows his or her role in the family. Parents know their responsibilities and use their authority over their children appropriately. Children accept their duties and responsibilities as well.

Acceptance. The family knows that everyone commits mistakes. The members accept each other's shortcomings and are willing to heed constructive criticisms and learn from one's another mistakes.
Forgiveness. Members of a happy family make up after a fight. Misunderstandings may come and they may argue and express differing opinions but they always forgive and reconcile.

Sense of humor. Family members share light moments and always find something to smile or laugh about. Sense of humor is one big factor that makes a family happy. Laughing heartily together clears away any heavy feeling during a bad time.

Source of strength. Family members offer each other a shoulder to cry on. A sad situation brings a family closer. They symphatize with and turn to one another for comfort in times of grief or sorrow. Happy or sad, they always stick together.
