9 Principles for a Successful Marriage & Family

"Amy Adams of Washington, USA, was trying to decide which activities would be best for her three young children when a conversation with her mother changed her mind. “What if you gave your children something better than training in sports or dance?” Amy’s mother asked. “What if by staying home, they could learn to feel the Spirit more?” Then her mother reminded her of what President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, has taught about the power of focusing on life’s basic relationships (see, for example, Of Things That Matter Most,” Ensign, Nov. 2010, 19–22)."

Here are the 9 Principles for Successful Marriage & Family:

FAITH, REPENTANCE, PRAYER,FORGIVENESS, love, RESPECT, Compassion, RECREATION, work

 

-Ensign, June 2013, p. 25-31.

Strong Eternal Marriages!
