We are asked to have
a family council at least once a week with our spouse and/or children.
The council
process is:
·
Council in
a group
·
Speak openly
·
Be frank
with each other
·
Come to
a consensus after a discussion
·
Align
our will with Heavenly Fathers
·
Express
love and appreciation
I like how Elder
Ballard put it “There has never been a time when the world was in greater need
of the strength and security that are best sown and cultivated in the deep,
fertile soil of family love. Successful
families have a wide assortment of tools, and one of the most useful tools is family
council.”
The concept of
family council strengthening the family and bringing them closer together has
remained true in my life. Although my
family and I do not council every week we would do it at least once or twice a
month. There are times when it is only
my parents and I or the entire family all together around the table, but every
time we do family council I feel closer to my family and a stronger bond with
each one of my siblings and parents.
