The family is ordained of God and is central to His plan for the eternal
destiny of His children. This divine plan makes it possible for
individuals to return to His presence and for families to be united
eternally. In The Family: A Proclimation to the World it states at the beginning that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the
family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His
children.
David O. McKay stated that "No other success can compensate for failure in the home" It's no stretch to say that a person has a
serious advantage in life if they come from a loving, supportive home. Many people still
succeed though they come from less-than-ideal family situations, but having our basic needs
met, knowing that our parents love us and learning life lessons at home make all the
challenges of day-to-day living that much easier to face. Likely, as an adult you want a
happy home for your family.
This is no coincidence. God organizes us into
families so that we can grow up in happiness and safety, and so that we can learn to love
others selflessly—the key to true joy. Within the family is the best place to learn to love
others the way Heavenly Father loves each one of us.
God's Church exists to help families gain
eternal blessings. We believe the greatest blessing He gives us is the ability to return to
live with Him in heaven with our families. We follow our Heavenly Father's will because that
is how we earn this blessing.
