ReplyDeleteIt is a blessing to belong to a church that puts the family as a high priority. Here are some ideas of things that have helped to strengthen our marriage as my wife and I prepare to have children: Family home evening, family prayer, family scripture study, date night, attending both church and the temple together, eating dinner together, family vacations, geneology and family history work, reacreational activities, and reunions with extended family.
