Second, there must be great unselfishness, directing of the family life and all pertaining thereunto to the good of the family.
Third, there must be continuing courting and expressions of affection, kindness and consideration to keep love alive and growing.
Fourth, there must be the living commandments of the Lord as defined in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
