Are You a Courageous Parent? Counsel from Church Leaders

As I waited for my son in a pediatric dentist’s waiting room, my gaze drifted around the room to the other parents. Two mothers waddled in with older children and bouncy toddlers in strollers as they waited for their child’s turn. Another mother passed the time by talking on her cell phone, completely ignoring her son.

Can Mormons cheer for Mitt Romney without voting for him?

This year has brought some lively discussions around the dinner table. A lot of them revolve around, “Hey, Mom, is that Mormon guy still winning?” Of course, they’re talking about Mitt Romney, and our answer is usually, "Well, sort of.” Which always leads to a discussion about politics in general. We are a politically divided family. My 9-year-old is firmly aligned with the Democrats. (“The Republicans remind me of old Mr. Potter from ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’” he announced the other day.) My 8-year-old is a Republican. The 6-year-old is undecided and the 2-year-old isn’t potty trained, so he isn’t allowed to vote in the Lewis family election.

5 Vital Ways to Protect Your Marriage

By Gary and Joy Lundberg

The words of President Gordon B. Hinckley ring in our ears and tug at our hearts as we contemplate the battle the adversary is waging against married couples today. He said, “The family is falling apart all over the world. The old ties that bound together father and mother and children are breaking everywhere. We must face this in our own midst. There are too many broken homes among our own. . . . Can we not do better? Of course we can” (“Look to the Future,” Ensign, Nov. 1997, 69).
