   quote
"When I hear of a family breaking up, I question if family home
evening and family prayers have been regularly held in that home. Surely,
the most important ingredient in producing happiness at home for members of
this Church is a deep religious commitment to God and His gospel. In family
home evening, such commitment can be nurtured in children by the wise,
mature supervision of parents. Couples can strengthen and sustain each
other in living and understanding gospel principles. Single members can
gather under the direction of their priesthood leaders in small groups for
gospel discussions and appropriate activities. Devotion to God developed in
these settings seems to forge the spiritual moorings and stability that can
help families and individuals cope with the complexities of life. Some may
say this is an oversimplification of a very complex problem, yet I believe
the answers lie within the framework of the restored gospel of Jesus
Christ."

~James E. Faust, "Enriching Our Lives through Family Home Evening," Liahona, June 2003, 3-4
