Meet Together Often

In the scriptures we are counseled to "meet together often". The fifteen men we have sustained as prophets, seers and revelators, meet every Thursday to discuss the welfare of the Church and of each other. They meet in the temple and take time to express love and appreciation for one another. Missionaries have "companionship inventory" at least once a week. I believe that these principles are important in a marriage and in a family. Husbands and wives should have a day where they have set aside time to discuss their relationship and their children. When decisions need to be made that effect the whole family, parents should meet together with their children and discuss the changes that need to happen and how they should go about making those changes. They too, should take time to express love and appreciation for one another. I also feel that these meetings should begin with a prayer, to invite the Spirit to be present. I feel that if husbands and wives did this, we may see a decrease in infidelity, and divorce.
