 If you are worried about the future, then look to the upbringing of your children.~Gordon B. Hinckley |
There is a difference between teaching and training. Teaching is causing the child to understand, training is causing the child to do. Every act performed is that much done towards fixing habits; repeated many times, the habit is established. If we train our children in the ways of the Lord. . . every time they perform an act of obedience to the word and will of our Father in heaven their character becomes more firmly in doing the things that God requires of them. ~James G. Duffin, Conference Report, April 1909, p.25| The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. ~Family Proclamation |
