The word underlie has multiple meanings. I will answer "The principles to follow to have a strong family."
Successful families get along well together, but this requires effort. Here are some principles to follow.
1.cultivating closeness,being reasonable
2. doing things together,expressing affection:
3.fulfilling mutual obligations, giving family,
4. personal interest. and
5.putting God first
For more information, please go to jw.org "Online Library" and learn how to apply these principles. Also for free downloads publications, videos or read online
Worshipping the Almighty God Jehovah should be primary. Communicating and listening is next. Without genuine listening and sharing of ourselves, we can't know one another. We become a household of roommates who react rather than respond to one another's needs. Humility, honesty, and respect for one another is very important. Members of the family should tell each other that they love them. When they affirm each other, it gives each a sense of personal worth, it gives each the opportunity to speak and act affectionately. They will enjoy being together and reinforce each other in a way that makes their relationships very satisfying.
