"There can be no genuine happiness separate and apart from the home, and every effort made to sanctify and preserve its influence is uplifting to those who toil and sacrifice for its establishment. There is no happiness without service, and there is no service greater than that which converts the home into a divine institution, and which promotes and preserves family life."—Joseph F. SmithTeachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, 382 |
