Growing up, my family would do family council every week at family home evening. We would talk about upcoming events, what sports games were happening, and what’s going on in each others life. I think it was very beneficial for all of us to be on the same page, help problem solve, and support each other when needed. I thought it was a great thing that my parents implemented in our family, but some of my siblings fought anything with the church or family. Now that we are older, things are a lot better, but they definitely made it hard to be able to enjoy activities when they acted that way. What are some things you would do as a parent if your children acted that way towards church things?
I loved that talk by Elder Eyring. He really emphasized the importance of marriage, eternal families, and teaching your children the gospel of Jesus Christ. I think that we become one in marriage by praying together, reading scriptures as a family, attending church together, and supporting each other in all aspects of life. If a husband and wife can do those things together and become one with God, they can withstand all the trials, temptations, and hard times that come in life. What are some things that have helped you in your marriage to overcome trials? Or if not married, what have you done to overcome trials in your life?
Happy Wife, Happy Life
