家庭円満 katei enman Household Harmony

家庭円満 is the wish that the people in one home get along. People say it of a couple as a compliment and ask a shrine for it as a blessing, which makes it a wish for a wedding or an anniversary. 家庭 is the home: husband and wife, parents and children. 円満 is round and full, and of people it means getting along without sharp corners. Its companion 家内安全 is the prayer that keeps the household safe from accident and illness; this one wishes for how the people in it get along. Whether it is for a wedding, an anniversary or a new house is yours.

家庭円満 is composed of the word 家庭 (read katei) meaning "home; family; household" and 円満 (read enman) meaning "harmony; perfection; peace; completeness".

家庭円満 is a Meiji word for a harmonious home, in print from 1899 in a Tokyo women's magazine.
