"Since 'no other success can compensate for failure' here, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship." - Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf (Of Things That Matter Most. Oct. 2010 General Conference)

"The components to wholesome recreation include opportunities to verbally communicate, develop skills, face challenges, create memories, share traditions and beliefs, and spend time together in the family setting." - Mark A. Widmer (Successful Marriages and Families. pg 233)

Spending time together as a family doing different activities will bring families closer and build relationships. Families will learn how to work together and solve problems. Memories will be made and there will be happiness and laughter. Heavenly Father wants us to spend the most time with our families because they are going to be the ones who we are with forever.
