"Nine Principles for a Successful Marriage and Family"

 "It is possible to make a home a bit of heaven; indeed I picture heaven to be a continuation of the ideal home."
-David O. McKay

Faith
 "Faith in God includes faith in His timing."
-Neil A. Maxwell

Prayer
 "We must not only say our prayers; We must also live them."
-J. Devin Cornish

Repentance
 "It's better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent."
-President Benson

Forgiveness
“Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive.”
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Respect
"I hope that the noise of our homes will drop a few decibels, that we will subdue our voices and speak to one another with greater appreciation and respect"
-Gordon B. Hinkley

Love
There is beauty all around
When there's love at home

Compassion
In the scriptures, compassion means literally “to suffer with.” It also means to show sympathy, pity, and mercy for another.

Work
"Work cements family relationships"
-Dianne Dibb Forbis

Recreation
"Families must spend more time together in work and recreation. Family home evenings should be scheduled once a week as a time for recreation, work projects, skits, songs around the piano, games, special refreshments, and family prayers. … This practice will bind a family together, in love, pride, tradition, strength, and loyalty"
-President Ezra Taft Benson
