WORKING TOGEHER
 How does
work President Hickley listed
that as one of four things
strengthen that could in a generation
relatinships? or two turn societys
moral values around.
The Family: A proclamation
to the World describes caring
for spouse and children as a
solemn responibility:. It calls
providing for the physical Family work can become
needs of children as, sacred the clinical experience that
duty and it lists WORK
among the principals like

compassion principles upon Mawell)
which successful marriages
and families are established
and maintained.
QUALITY TIME =
STRONGER FAMILY
 Work
Connects
people and
changes hearts
ELDER Neal A Maxwell-
We must look carefully
therefore not only at life's
large defining moments but
also at the seemingly small
moments.
Even small acts and brief
conversations count, if only
incrementally, in the constant
shaping of souls.
Work adds value
 Daily
Repetition
Family members may not
notice the cumulative impact
of these small moments, but
the daily repetition of words
and actions that accompany
such work help form basic
character, virtues, and beliefs.
 Every day Needs
Routine acts begin to
Mend feelings Foster Unity
Work was the way of life
Families worked to They worked

 Changing roles of Mother
and Fathers broke families
Before industrialization,
fathers learned the work of
trade of their fathers and
took pride in that.

Mothers had to go to work

because of the war. Men
went to war and they had
to take their places in the
factories.

As a result fathers and

mothers spent less time in
their homes. They became a
guest in their own home.
 As a result=
These combined changes promoted a new ideal where family members
were physically isolated from one another much of the day.
 President
Monson
counseled
Mothers, share household
duties. It is often easier to do
everything yourself than to
persuade your children to
help, but it is so essential for
them to learn the importance
of doing their share.
 What can
children gain
from chores?
To insist that children help
when they would rather do
their own thing does not
damage self-esteem; it aids
the discovery of true worth.

This instance says, I need

you. You are an essential
member of our family. We
cannot get along without you
or your help.
 The Saviors Way

In a world that now rewards

and glorifies the work we do
outside of the home and
minimizes the value of
humble work within our
homes, perhaps it is
appropriate to include
within the Saviors meaning
of the least of these the
caring of our children,
sisters, brothers, spouses,
and parents in our own
homes.
