Home and Family Living

The home is the basis of a righteous life, and no other instrumentality can take its place or fulfill its essential functions. —Letter from the First Presidency to members of the Church throughout the world, February 11, 1999

Home and family living fosters study of the home as a sacred center for everyday family life and as the basis for a vital community. Theory, research, and practice are used to

  • illuminate the value of everyday home life,
  • foster wellness and provident living in meeting practical human needs such as feeding, housing, clothing, and financing the family,
  • value the potential that practical human needs present for the moral and temporal development of family members,
  • promote religious and community involvement that maintains and strengthens home and family as the fundamental unit of society, and
  • prepare individuals as professional and everyday home and family educators.
