Home or Career?

Such homes will be founded, with the Savior's help, whenever there is that love and feeling of mutual esteem which is happy to begin wedded life humbly and with self-denial, and to count no interests on earth stronger than those which center about the family hearth.

Whereby Should a Christian Be Governed in Choosing a Spouse?

Not merely by love and attachment. Let men be guided by Proverbs 31:10-31, and women by Psalm 128.

A Beautiful Story of Family Worship

Never in all his life did he attend a more beautiful family worship. That man and his wife loved their children with a true and a genuine love. They meant to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

There is No Place Like Home

There are three institutions that may properly be called divine: the home, the state, and the church. The home comes first, first in time and first in importance.

The Blessed Vocation of Motherhood

What a blessed thing to be a wife and mother! This is a vocation that is well-pleasing unto God, for God has instituted the estate of matrimony and ordained all that it comprises.
