Summary/Abstract: The article contains a theoretical study with raxiological implications, which elucidates a brief foray into the landmarks and possibilities of positive psychology to guide young people to personal development in the context of knowing life prospects and developing the Existential Project to build a happy family. The author analyzes the flexible and rigid mentality of the person, which is correlated with the perspectives of life, mentioning the strong and vulnerable aspects of the perspectives: accentuated-positive on the past; moderate-positive on the future and moderate - hedonistic and eudaimonic on the present. In this context, a mini-research is presented on determining the type of perspectives that prevail in young people and adults, including how they can influence building and maintaining a happy family. Next, two types of people are described, some who make maximalist choices and others who focus on satisfactory choices. It also explains the reason for the functionality of satisfactory elections. The aspects analyzed and interpreted in the study in question contributed to the determination of the conditions for the successful elaboration and application of the Existential Project for building a happy family; of strategies/ steps to maintain it and optimize the personal efficiency of marital partners.
