Dallin H. Oaks, “Focus and Priorities”
"Time together is necessary but not sufficient. Priorities
should govern us in the precious time we give to our family
relationships."
Gordon B. Hinckley, “Family Home Evening
"Let us place higher priority on family prayer, family
scripture study, and family home evenings and eliminate those activities that fill our lives with worldliness and evil."
Children's needs must be the chief concern in both parents careers and financial decisions.
