Family


Should have been published in Summer 2015

Karl and I have been a couple for over 40 years - married for almost 39.  Yes, we are getting up there in years of marriage and years in age.  It's been an interesting life together filled with ups and downs and agreements and disagreements good and not so good.  But, we've hung in there and made our marriage work and made it happy.

Today at the end of our Sunday sacrament meeting everyone received a copy of the Proclamation of the Family.  In paragraph six it states that as a couple and heads of our family we have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for our children and that we have a sacred duty to rear our children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live and that we will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.
