We want to make our *best* efforts so that good influences are the effective ones in our spouse's and children's lives!

• First Presidency letter on highest priority of parents (I probably have a copy of the full letter -- if someone wants I can check. I dont see it online now.)
  

  ""We counsel parents and children to give highest priority to family prayer, 
  family home evening, gospel study and instruction, and wholesome family activities. 
  However worthy and appropriate other demands or activities may be, they must not
  be permitted to displace the divinely-appointed duties that only parents and 
  families can adequately perform" (First Presidency letter, Feb. 11, 1999).

• Read "The Family: A Proclamation to the World", and consider carefully its teachings, for family happiness that lasts. What do we really seek...? (main)
• We believe families can be together forever. There is emphasis on developing family trust & happiness now, to extend to eternity.
