God created the first family and wants the home to be a symbol of heaven. When a husband and wife bear marriage responsibilities together with Jesus Christ as their guide, they can find happiness in their union that is approved by God. The blessing of God is present in homes where couples are united under Christ's control and spirit. Society depends on strong families, and the well-being of communities, churches and nations stem from influences in the home. Home should cultivate love, sympathy and courtesy to create a little heaven on earth.

14. God wants the home to be the happiest place
on earth, the very symbol of the home in
heaven. Bearing the marriage responsibilities in
the home, linking their interests with Jesus
Christ, leaning upon His arm and His assurance,
husband and wife may share a happiness in this
union that angels of God commend. A.H.102.1

15. The blessing of God in the home where this
union shall exist is as the sunshine of heaven,
because it is the Lord's ordained will that man
and wife should be linked together in holy bonds
of union, under Jesus Christ, with Him to control,
and His spirit to guide....A.H.102.1

27. Home Is the Heart of All Activity—Society is
composed of families, and is what the heads of
families make it. Out of the heart are “the
issues of life”; and the heart of the community,
of the church, and of the nation is the
household. The well-being of society, the
success of the church, the prosperity of the
nation, depend upon home influences.
A.H.15.1

28. The Sweetest Type of Heaven—Home
should be made all that the word
implies. It should be a little heaven
upon earth, a place where the
affections are cultivated instead of
being studiously repressed. Our
happiness depends upon this
cultivation of love, sympathy, and true
courtesy to one another.A.H.13.3
