The family as God's most prized institution

Today in a call with my parents and younger brother we discussed about the importance of the family as God's most prized institution. We shared how sometimes it's easy to lose sight of this simple truth of what God values the most, especially when we get caught in the weeds of organized religion and what somehow becomes a narrow understanding of truth.

However the simple truth that God wants to see ideal families established that embody his true love and create a peaceful world is something that is universally evident and should not be forgotten. Thus even if I may not always agree with my family members on every issue, I understand that to God, it is more important to invest in building those relationships rather than letting the petty disagreements get in the way, even if those disagreements are seemingly important matters to a particular religious institution.
