Advice for happiness in family life is subjective because we are all unique. But, there is only one plan for happiness-to follow all the commandments of God.
One overarching commandment. It applies to all relationships. "To all who want to live together in happiness...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy soul and love thy neighbor as thyself,"
What choices lead us to love thy God?
Choosing to accept and magnify every calling is one of the ways to do this.
Dallin H. Oaks
We offend God when we have other first priorities like: cultural and family traditions, material possessions, recreational pursuits, power, and prestige. The question is what is our ultimate priority?
Don't let the temporary challenges of mortality make us forget the commandments of God. We must never deviate from our paramount desire of eternal life.
Bonnie Oscarson
Being truly converted means acting upon what we believe. Conversion is a process, not an event. We must do the work first, exercise faith, and then learn it is true.
Confidence to share the gospel increases as your conversion develops. True conversion draws upon the atonement. We will become the means of accomplishing good things as we convert.
Richard Maynes
Our journey throughout life is a test of our character. When our testimonies are strong and our conversions real, the Spirit will help us make good choices.
A testimony needs to be in shape to endure. To do this we need to study and learn the fundamentals of the gospel and live those teachings. It is essential to be spiritually prepared. "You must become the rock the river cannot wash away,"
The race before us on this Earth is an endurance race. To finish we will need to pay the price of dedication and self-discipline. We need spiritual stamina.
Thomas S. Monson
Whenever your inclined to feel down, remember that others have felt the same way and endured. Making the gospel of Christ the center of your lives will pull you through.
Sadness and suffering are universal.
Good timber does not growth with ease.
May we ever strive to be close to our Heavenly Father. We truly need him every hour.
