The 1999 book Fantastic Families by Nick and Nancy Stinnett and Joe and Alice Beam summarizes a 25 year study of 14,000 families from 24 countries begun in 1977. It lists six strengths commitment appreciation and affection positive communication time together spiritual well being and coping with stress. It also outlines four growth steps for strong families: a good marriage commitment to parenting teaching values making memories and making home a haven with practical guidance and open communication.
