Strong families establish solidarity in family through rituals and tradiitions that belong to them.

Mothers and fathers model an example of a strong and loving relationship with each other.

Parents pattern a disciplined lifestyle and control the environment in which their children are living.

A loving family majors in communication.  They listen to one another and respond with genuine sensitivity.

A family has fun !  they affirm and encourage on another.

The family demands respect for each member of the household.

The family shares responsibility.  Children must be taught to serve others.

Families have a shared religious faith.  Parents teach their children virtues arising out of the shared ethic.

This is great .  Especially the part of showing respect/ and serving, because the more shown to the Father (of the household) the better in explaining religion or a higher power to children.  The same with the Mother (of the household) this shows that everyone has a place in Gods plan and that no one is replaced by another but added to the family unit.

I was with you until the last topic... I don't believe virtues and ethics have anything to do with religion. It seems to imply that those of us who aren't religious are somehow not a "good family".
