“Happiness in family life is most likely to be
achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful
marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith,
prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work and wholesome
recreational activities.”
–President Dieter F. Uchtdorf (Proclamation to the
Family)
“The Lord has opened the door for us to be
forgiven. Wouldn’t it be only right to put aside our own egotism and pride
and begin to open that blessed door of forgiveness to those with whom we
struggle—especially to all of our own family?”
–President Dieter F.
Uchtdorf
“God
bless you goodly mothers and fathers in Zion. He has entrusted to your care His
eternal children. As parents we partner, even join, with God in bringing to
pass His work and glory among His children. It is our sacred duty to do our
very best.”
–Elder L. Tom Perry
"Our families “They [our families] provide an anchor and the safe harbor of a home where each child of a loving Heavenly Father can be influenced for good and acquire eternal values.”
–Elder L. Tom Perry
–Elder L. Tom Perry
“Children
are highly vulnerable. They have little or no power to protect or provide for
themselves and little influence on so much that is vital to their well-being.
Children need others to speak for them, and they need decision makers who put
their well-being ahead of selfish adult interests.”
–Elder Dallin H. Oaks
· “Some may reject some of these
examples, but none should resist the plea that we unite to increase our concern
for the welfare and future of our children—the rising generation.” –Elder
Dallin H. Oaks
"Certainly
there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does
not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not
be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is
just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart
like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our
efforts."
-Elder Neil L. Anderson
"A
happy home is but an earlier heaven. President George Albert Smith asked, '[Do]
we want our homes to be happy[?] If we do, let them be the abiding place of
prayer, thanksgiving and gratitude' (in Conference Report, Apr. 1944,
32)."
-President Thomas S. Monson
"With
the Lord, families are essential. He created the earth that we could gain
physical bodies and form families. He established His Church to exalt families.
He provides temples so that families can be together forever."
-Elder
Russell M. Nelson
"In
these last days it is essential—even critical—that parents and children listen
to and learn from one another."
-M. Russell Ballard
