Faith and Prayer

Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith and prayer. 

"Praying together as a family and reading the scriptures... together is probably the best thing we do to pull us toward Heavenly Father and each other."

It is said that the family that prays together stays together. From the earliest time of my ventures in motherhood, I have depended on the Lord in prayer to help and guide me. They are his children, after all. 

"There's something that....when as a family your hearts are pointed together toward the same thing, and it's God, then parenting and economics and space and food and disagreements and hassles and joys and celebration and all that other stuff..it works different, it seems different, it feels different."

The extent to which husbands and wives participate in religious practices together and hold similar believes is one of the stronger predictors of the quality of marriage.

Prayer heals relationships, unites families and helps us drawer nearer to Christ.

By loving behavior of parents, children learn to understand the nature of God. If a child grows up having a loving father, it is easier for them to understand God and who he is.
