United Future's family policy is founded on the following:

Principle 1

The family is the foundational unit that provides stability, wellbeing and continuity to our society.

Principle 2

Marriage between a man and a woman is the most deliberate approach to the establishment of a family and therefore society should promote and support it

Principle 3

Commitment, stability and resilience are essential in marriages and all family relationships.

Principle 4

The family's essential function is that of loving, caring for and nurturing all its members, recognising the need for an equality of well-being among them.

Principle 5

The interests of children are best served by growing up in a happy, understanding, safe home created by a loving mother and father supported by the extended intergenerational family (whanau).

Principle 6

Family membership requires a balancing of the rights, duties and responsibilities of each member.
