National Families Week coincides with the United Nations International Day of Families on 15th of May.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes in the importance of families. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of the faith’s statement on marriage and family, titled: “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.”
Among other Latter-day Saint resources and programs aimed at strengthening family relationships is the 100 year-old “Family Home Evening” program. Mormons around the world take time out each Monday evening to spend time with family.
Elder M. Russell Ballard, a member of the Church’s Quorum of Twelve Apostles, recently invited families “to put family first and to identify specific ways to strengthen individual families.”
The concept of a united family that lives and progresses forever is at the core of Latter-day Saint doctrine.
