This family must be able to face the problems of life and to act so that it does not disturb, beyond measure, its well-being and its tranquility.
I insinuate by this, that happiness hovers above the family. So, when the father enters the house, happiness should light up the whole house. And when he leaves, the whole family awaits his return.
I insinuate by this that the husband must feel appeased by the welcome of his wife and the latter by the presence of her husband. And that the children feel soothed by the presence of their parents and that the latter find pleasure in seeing their offspring. And that there is tenderness and benevolence within the hearth.

It is well known that the family is made up of ascendants and descendants.
The ancestry is composed by the couple, and its ramifications are the fruit of marriage: the children, boys and girls. It is well known that if the couple is happy, this happiness affects the children.
