By Kevin Majeres, CERC - For families, the purity of the father is the strength and stability of the family. His purity produces joy and contentment in his relationship with his wife. Purity elevates his power to find joy in life: first, in his relationship with God; then in being a loving husband and father; then being a good friend, being a good provider for one's family, and so on. All of these goods are sources of joy; and they are all primarily spiritual.
