Abstract Family is the most important and influential social institution that plays an essential role in the education of noble people and in the foundation of a healthy society. Divine religions and scholars have put forward solutions with various sociological, psychological and religious approaches to protect this valuable social institution and its strength. Using descriptive-analytical method, this research examines the relationship between moral values and family strength from the Islamic perspective and with an ethical approach. The research findings indicate that observing moral values is one of the most important factors in strengthening the family. The more moral values are observed in the family, the stronger its foundations will be.
