Regarding what constitutes wellbeing, “a good life” for a person, two schools of thought have emerged in positive psychology; a hedonic school and a second school that supports eudemonia – centered life. Researchers in the field of eudemonia believe that a “good life” is not just about feeling good for an individual, but eudemonia and happiness is found in expressing virtue and doing what is worthy of being done. The present study was conducted with the aim of developing a conceptual model of eudemonia-oriented relationships in the family based on Islamic sources (Quran and Hadith). In this study, content analysis was used to analyze the conceptual components of eudemonia-oriented relationships in the family from descriptive-explanatory sentences from Islamic sources (Quran and Hadith), and linguistic semantics was used to explain the conceptual structure of eudemonia-oriented relationships in the family. For this purpose, descriptive-explanatory sentences related to the topic were searched and selected in Islamic texts using the words and concepts collected in the semantic domain of eudemonia-oriented relationships in the family. In order to determine the conceptual components, coding, categorization, and conceptualization operations were performed on the main themes of the selected texts. The findings showed that the conceptual structure of eudemonia-oriented relationships in the family, based on Islamic sources, is based on seven main components: good character, desirable verbal communication, respect, meeting genuine needs, commitment arising from religion, concern for the religiousness of members, and resilience in problems and conflict resolution with spiritual motivation.
