"There is no other organization that can so completely satisfy our need for belonging and happiness like the family."-Elder Marlin K. Jensen
We will never experience the same joys in this life that we do when we are in a family. Families experiences the most joy and happiness when they are keeping the commandments of God. When families center their homes on the teachings of Jesus Christ their home becomes a laboratory of love, a refuge from the world, and a place of worship.
" 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"- The Family: A Proclamation to the World
When these principles are applied in the home, a family will grow together, learn together, and develop close relationships that will last for the rest of their lives, and into the eternities.
It is up to the father and mother to create happiness in the home. This can be achieved by holding family home evening, daily scripture studies, family prayer, and by attending church meetings together.
