“When the seas of life are stormy, a wise mariner seeks a port of peace. The family, as we have traditionally known it, is such a refuge of safety. ‘The home is the basis of a righteous life and no other instrumentality can take its place or fulfil its essential functions.’ (Conference Report, Oct. 1962, 72)”

Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, Nov 2000, 64–66
