Elder Robert D. Hales stated "Strengthening families is our sacred duty as parents, children, extended family members, leaders, teachers and individual members of the Church." (Ensign, May 1999)  The key to strengthening families is having the Spirit of the Lord come into our homes.  We should center our lives on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Those who are married should consider their union as their most cherished earthly relationship.  A spouse is the only person other than the Lord whom we have been commanded to love with all our heart.  "Thou shalt love they wife [husband] with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her [him] and none else."  (see D&C 42:22)  The phrase "none else" teaches that no person, activity, or possession should ever take precedence over the marriage relationship.

Each member of the family is strengthened as we lift and strengthen and love and care for one another.
