Where has the family gone?

Why have we lost sight of what the definition of a family is?  In today's literature different experts are defining the family differently, or not at all.  This really makes me sad.  We are told that our family is the main thing that will get us back to heaven with our Heavenly Father.  We will be able to make it to the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom.  I think Satan knows how important families are and he doesn't want us to make it to that greatest glory. When there is a crises families tend to hold on to each other, but when we are doing okay we let go of our families and cling more to those things of the world. 

One thing that could be hurting the family is all the research that is being published.  We need to be savvy consumers when we are looking into research dealing with the family.  We can't always base out thinking on those results.  We need to know what we are looking at and understand when there could be potential errors that could make the results invalid.

I love the family unit and feel so blessed to know the truth about families.  I hope that someday the trends will go the opposite way and people will start getting married before they live together, and that parents will decide to bring wonderful children into their family and into this world.
