Could you please tell my why it is:

"Une vraie joie de vivre habite cette famille"
and not:
"Une vraie joie de vivre vit cette famille"

Merci beaucoup!

habiter = to live in, inhabit (transitive); to live, reside (intransitive)

vivre = to live (life, faith, art), live through, experience (transitive); to live (intransitive)

A true joy of life lives in this family.
