Reason #34 - Families

The LDS Church places a very strong emphasis on the Family as being eternal. We have the Family Home Evening Program, which is a program designed to strengthen the family by spending quality time together. In the Temple we can be sealed as families to parents, children, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc by doing vicarious work for our ancestors or by working with our family units here and now. Since we believe that our families can be eternal, it is important to us to learn how to be unified in the gospel and within our families so we can all sit down in Heaven together. Many of us have people in our lives that we cherish and it's hard to think that those relationships would end. They don't have to with the restored gospel and the power to seal with proper authority a family together for all time and eternity.
