There is nothing in this world as important as the creation and perfection of family units of the kind contemplated in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And so, when the Lord speaks to husbands, he says: “Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else.” (D&C 42:22.)

When his voice is heard by wives, it imposes a similar obligation upon them with reference to their husbands.

To both of them he commands: “Thou shalt not commit adultery or anything like unto it.” (See D&C 59:6.)

When he speaks to parents, he directs them to bring up their children in light and in truth, to teach them the gospel, to set them examples of godly conduct.

When he speaks to children, his decrees are: “Obey your parents in the Lord” (Eph. 6:1), and “Honour thy father and thy mother.” (Exod. 20:12.) – Bruce R. McConkie, “Conference Report,” April 1970, Afternoon Meeting, p.27
