I thought about the way so many of my friends bitched about their parents; they all seemed to think they were destroying their lives. I never felt like that. My parents were undoubtedly crazy, but they never did anything except make my life better. I was their seventh and final child, and they did not need this. To this day, I never want them to know anything about my life that makes me seem like the horrible person I truly am. In fact, the thought of them reading this book keeps me awake at night. It makes me want to get drunk.

Who are these people, that they want to save the world and yet they are incapable of forming proper relationships with anybody? As GoodNews so eloquently puts it, it’s love this and love that, but of course it’s so easy to love someone you don’t know, whether it’s George Clooney or Monkey. Staying civil to someone with whom you’ve ever shared Christmas turkey – now there’s a miracle.

I think that if we had the capability to teach effectively this one doctrine [eternal families], it would capture the interest of millions of husbands and wives who love one another and who love their children, but whose marriage is in effect only ‘until death do you part.’

If every man in this church who has been ordained to the Melchizedek priesthood were to qualify himself to hold a temple recommend and then were to go to the house of the Lord and renew his covenants in solemnity before God and witness, we would be a better people. There would be little or no infidelity among us. Divorce would almost entirely disappear. So much of heartache and heartbreak would be avoided. There would be a greater measure of peace and love and happiness in our homes. There would be fewer weeping wives and weeping children. There would be a greater measure of appreciation and of mutual respect among us. And I am confident the Lord would smile with greater favor upon us.

Brethren, there is too little religious devotion, love, and fear of God in the home; too much worldliness, selfishness, indifference, and lack of reverence in the family, or it would never exist so abundantly on the outside. Then, the home is what needs reforming. Try today, and tomorrow, to make a change in your home.

The crosshairs of Satan’s scope are centered on husbands and fathers… We warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

Credit is so easy to obtain. In fact, it is almost thrust upon us. Those who use credit cards to overspend unwisely should consider eliminating them. It is much better that a plastic credit card should perish than a family dwindle and perish in debt.

I believe our problems, almost every one, arise out of the homes of the people. If there is to be reformation, if there is to be a change, if there is to be a return to the old and sacred values, it must begin in the home.

Every night at bedtime, when I ask Logan [the younger son] to tell me the best part of his day, he always answers: “Playing with Dylan.” When I ask him for the worst part of his day, ha also answers: “Playing with Dylan.” Suffice it to say, they’re bonded as brothers.
