How we love our family is intricately connected with our relationship to the Savior and His Atonement. We cannot be fully His without loving our families in truth, sincerity and kindness. Be loyal, generous, and forgiving. The three greatest things to do for your family: nourish, comfort, and speak kindly and in this type of love you will abide in light and live joyfully. If you always have your family's "everlasting welfare" in mind, then it will be easier to do these things and together you will inherit all the Father has(love).
