This thesis is a study of the spiritual daily life of a family, as a ways to create a family of peace and happiness in order to correctly understand and practice thoroughly the goals and the role of the Blessed Families. The following is the summary of the research content seen from this viewpoint.
In the introduction, we examined that the family breakdowns caused by the marital conflicts and divorce rates of the modern family within the modern society have caused great influences to the Blessed Families. As a ways to help these Blessed Families to improve their marital relationships and their peace and happiness, we presented the necessity of a family's spiritual daily life which is centered on a family relationship.
The main content in Chapter 1 explained about the goals and roles of the Blessed Families, by separately examining the Blessed Families' general concept of a family and the concept of a Blessed Family formed through the Blessing.
It is defined in Chapter 2 that from the Unification Theology's viewpoint which explains the parent-child relationship between God and human beings, God and man becomes one through the reciprocal relationship between the physical and spiritual body. Then we examined the spiritual element of a Blessed Family through these Unification Church's concept of spirituality.
Chapter 3 defined the meaning of a spiritual daily life of a Blessed Family, and finally, concretely examined the substantiality of a Blessed Family.
Likewise, according to the principle of true love, the Blessed Families have a cultural daily life that correctly establishes the tradition and the family rules of a Blessed Family, while living in unity by attending God and True Parents within the family. We can understand their attitudes and behaviors toward life from their spirituality, which is the spiritual viewpoint of the Unification Principle. In this essay, we observed that the attitude toward life to live a life of one mind and body where the parent and children, husband and wife, brother and sister complete the Four Great Realms of Heart by attending God and True parents through the family, which is the head of a four position foundational life; or the act of creating a harmonious family culture through those true love relationships are the spirituality of a Blessed Family.
The Blessed Families should live a daily life centered on the true heart by first uniting the individual's mind and body, in order to complete the true family. In other words, they have to live a daily life that practices and establishes God's Word. It begins by building a true love relationship between a husband and wife and parent and children within the family, which is the fundamental core of life, and by creating joy and happiness through a reciprocal relationship.
This thesis concluded with a proposal to create a family of joy and peace as the substantiality of the Blessed Families' spiritual daily life. We have examined that the goal of the Blessed Families' spiritual daily life is to create a family of joy and peace which can attend God and True Parents, centered on the family relationships of true love. In order to create a family of joy ad peace, we presented the three attitudes which should be held for the family relationships. First, you need a consideration that does not require constant attention and condition. Second, you have to live by respecting and supporting one another. Third, you should live a daily life that does not spare gratitude and praise. The important fact here is that the common points of these practical attitudes are only possible by centering on true love.
