Standing For Something

President Gordon B. Hinckley, our latter-day prophet wrote a book called Standing For Something. In this book there are 10 virtues that we can obtain to heal our hearts and homes. In one of the last chapters "We can save our nation by saving our homes" he starts with saying, “Society’s problems arise, almost without exception, out of the homes of the people. If there is to be a reformation, if there is to be a change, if there is to be a return to old and sacred values, it must begin in the home.” Within this chapter he lists 10 things that he says can change the problems that are arising in society. 1.) Accept responsibility for our role as parents and fulfill our obligations to our children. 2.) Get married and stay married. 3.) Put the father back at the head of the home. 4.) Recognize and value the supreme importance of mothers. 5.) Celebrate and treat children as our most priceless treasures. 6.) Discipline and train children with love. 7.) Teach values to children. 8
