“Clearly anyone who thinks Jesus taught no-fault theology didn’t read the fine print in the contract! No, in matters of discipleship the Church is not a fast-food outlet; we can’t always have it ‘our way.’ Some day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ and that salvation can only come His way.”
Jeffrey R. Holland
“All of us, single or married, are eternally part of some family—someway, somewhere, somehow—and much of our joy in life comes as we correctly recognize and properly develop those family relationships. We come to this earth charged with a mission: to learn to love and serve one another. To best help us accomplish this, God has placed us in families, for he knows that is where we can best learn to overcome selfishness and pride and to sacrifice for others and to make happiness and helpfulness and humility and love the very essence of our character.”

“Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved, wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often. Obviously, this is a role parents should fill.”
