I know that there are ways family can be strong and happy and some of the ways are: by the way you interact with each other, how you treat each other, what you do as a family and as individuals to support each other. Now by the reason of the post I made, “CAN ANY MARRIAGE REALLY BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT GOD IN IT?” the responses that I got from the house are what actually prompted me to come up with this list. I want every body to be sincere with him/her self to arrange these qualities of building a strong family in order of importance.
Caring & Appreciation, Commitment, Communication, Spiritual Life, Community & Family Ties, Teamwork and     
Flexibility & Openness to Change. However, you are not limited to above you can add any other ingredient that make a family strong

Wish you a better arrangement.

What can make a family to be strong ,if not the love and the fear of God.Since it is  said by God that a girl will live her father house and go to her husband house to live with him.,and they will live together and become one body ,one flesh. definately it is ordain by God,and everything created by him his nothing but good.

being close to each other
feeling concern and caring for one another
interacting with each other

1.Positive mental health in parents
 Children whose parents say that they feel calm, peaceful or happy are more likely than other children to be positively involved in school and less likely to act out or have emotional problems.
       
2. Everyday routines
Families that tend to have regular routines and roles usually have children who do well in school and have greater self-control. Keeping these everyday routines (like eating together and doing household tasks) is associated with positive outcomes for adolescents. They are more likely to avoid delinquent behavior and less likely to use drugs.
       
3. Spending time together
Having fun with one's family is related to better outcomes for adolescents. Again, adolescents are more likely to avoid delinquent behavior and less likely to use drugs. Quality time is important for happiness in family relationships.
       
4. Communication and praise
Positive communication (being warm, respectful and interested in a child's opinions) is associated with the well-being of children. Two-way communication can encourage healthy behavior in adolescents.
Adolescents who have parents that use praise and who go to their parents for advice are less likely to have behavioral and emotional problems.
     
5. Monitoring, supervision, and involvement
When parents use praise and encouragement, show awareness and monitor adolescents' schoolwork and social life, their children tend to do better in school and show more socially positive behaviors.
 
6. Warm and supportive relationships between the parent and child
Warm and supportive relationships with parents are associated with good adolescent outcomes. Adolescents with these types of relationships are less likely to be suspended from school, are less likely to have behavioral and emotional problems, and are less likely to abuse substances.

Prayer - a family that prays together, stays and lives together.  Each family should have a family Altar for daily devotion.
Love    - the bedrock to everlasting peace and harmony in a family is love. Husband should love his wife.
Understanding -  this is vital in every home.
Respect   -  this is very important.  The wife should be obey and respect the husband, children should obey and respect their parents.

Understanding, able to tolerate one another n fear of God must be included.But most importantly is the ability to love in all situation and to forgive one another.
