I don't think that happy is the adjective I'd use. It doesn't take into consideration the personalities of the individuals. I'm not sure what other adjective you could use, though. Over all, a family where the members love, respect, enjoy being with each other and being part of the family is more apt to turn out children who are happy, well adjusted, and law abiding adults (baring chemical imbalances). In those families whose members are alienated from each other, the children have a harder time becoming happy, well adjusted, law abiding adults.

The truth may be out there but lies are in your head. Terry Pratchett
Conversely, my parents were married but unhappily, yet my brother and I are both law-abiding, contributing members of society with reasonably functional families of our own.
I know two families in which the marriages were/are extremely strong, happy and passionate and where that strong marital bond has been detrimental to the kids. Human life is messy and complicated and tends to defy rule-making.
thanks.
perhaps another way to write this
i think my kids general are happy.
