Good family relationships strengthen individuals, communities, and nations
Good family relationships strengthen individuals, communities, and nations

The family is the fundamental unit of society. It is the primary setting in which children develop virtue.

Children learn about love, trust, loyalty, cooperation, and service in the family. They learn how to behave in a community. They develop the attributes of good citizenship by first learning them in the home.

The health of any society lies in the strength of its families. When we strengthen our families, we strengthen our communities and our nations.
