Time To Begin

"The family unit is not only fundamental to society and to the Church but to our hope for eternal life. We begin to practice in the family, the smaller unit, what will spread to the Church and to the society in which we live in this world, and then will be what we practice in families bound together forever by covenants and by faithfulness. We can start now to 'promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family.' I pray that we will. I pray that you will ask, 'Father, how can I prepare?'... You will receive impressions, and if you act on them, I promise you the help of the powers of heaven."
-President Eyring, To Draw Closer to God, pg. 172
