Why are families so important?

By Elder D. Todd Christofferson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

From an April 2015 general conference talk.

Families are the best way for God’s plan of happiness to succeed.

God’s plan is for men and women to marry and have children.

God also told us that parents should teach their families to follow Jesus Christ.

Faithful families help communities and nations be strong and healthy.
