Abstract

The family is probably the oldest and most resilient institution of society. The family is appreciated and celebrated throughout the world. Since the beginning of life on Earth people have been grouped into families to find emotional, physical and collective support. Although in recent years several voices predict failure for both family and marriage, they continue to survive, change, and evolve. Most family studies, historically speaking, focused primarily on issues or weaknesses. However, in the last three decades, researchers have studied families in a perspective that highlights the strengths and family resources. Throughout the world, researchers have found that families are amazingly similar. The similarities indicate a set of qualities that describe the characteristics of powerful families. These qualities show appreciation and affection, commitment, positive communication, pleasant time spent together, spiritual well-being and the ability to effectively manage stress and crises (DeFrain & Asay, 2007).
