Families Are Strengthened through Gospel Activities
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings
?One example of great importance for humanity is strengthening our own families. The principle of family home evening was given to us in 1915. President McKay reminded parents again in 1964 that ?no other success can compensate for failure in the home? (Quoted from J. E. McCulloch, Home: The Savior of Civilization (1924), 42; in Conference Report, Apr. 1964, 5). In 1995 the prophets of our day called upon all the world to strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society (see ?The Family: A Proclamation to the World,? Liahona, Oct. 2004, 49; Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102).?
