God’s plan for family life is a beautiful plan, ordained and sanctified by Jesus himself as He chose to enter into human history through a family. For the majority of His life, he lived family life and by his example showed us just how important it is to our salvation.
If we trust in God, He will richly reward us with a family life that will guard, reveal and communicate love. It will not be perfect, but it will perfectly prepare us and our children for heaven and evangelize the world one family at a time.
