家庭円満 katei enman Household Harmony

家庭円満 is the wish that the people in one home get along. People looking in say it of a couple, as a compliment, 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 house safe from outside; this one wishes for what happens inside. 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, first known from a Tokyo publisher's advertisement of 1902.
