Taking as a basis the first part of L. Tolstoy's epigraph to the novel "Anna Karenina": "All happy families are alike ...", the author asked himself the question: what exactly do happy families do right and how can others learn this? He sorted out family life, highlighting the things we all do - love, fight, eat, play, fool around, spend money, make life decisions, and tried to find ways to optimize these aspects. The author chose the brightest examples, sought out the smartest people and the most organic families he could find in order to collect the best experience available today and create a kind of guide for happy families.
