First Presidency Message

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

We are pleased to provide this resource, Becoming a Self-Reliant and Resilient Family, to you and your family as you serve in the armed forces of your country.

This manual contains gospel-centered instructions to help you and your family respond to the challenges of military life. It includes principles for building a strong marriage, overcoming the trials of family separation and reintegration, and developing deeper faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement.

We express our sincere gratitude for the many sacrifices you and your family make as you serve in the armed forces. May the Lord bless and protect you in your righteous endeavors to keep His commandments and serve faithfully.

Sincerely,

The First Presidency
