Nurturing Relationships (week 6)

Henry B. Eyring said: "Love is the motivating principle by which the Lord leads us
along the way towards becoming like Him, our perfect example. Our way of life,
hour by hour, must be filled with the love of God and love for others.
There is no surprise in that, since the Lord proclaimed those as the first and
great commandments. It is love of God that will lead us to keep His commandments.
And love of others is at the heart of our capacity to obey Him. That is because the greatest
joys and the greatest sorrows we experience are in family relationships.
The joys come from putting the welfare of others above our own. That is what love is.
And the sorrow comes primarily from selfishness, which is the absence of love.
The ideal God holds for us is to form families in the way most likely to lead to
happiness and away from sorrow. A man and a woman are to make sacred
covenants that they will put the welfare and happiness of the other at the center
of their lives. Children are to be born into a family where the parents hold the
needs of children equal to their own in importance. And children are to love
parents and each other. That is the ideal of a loving family."
