The good things in life take time. That's why family takes so much work. That is why marriage takes so much work. Something that is very important though is that we do it all with love and selflessness. There will be times when we want to scream, yell, kick, and scream some more. The best thing you can teach your children is patience. Well, I should say one of the best things. It's important for you children to know that people get into arguments, but that doesn't mean you have to stay upset with them. Teach your children to repent of things that they may have done to another family member or friend. Teach your children to forgive once that apology has been given. It will help them to love more in life.
"Only through repentance do we gain access to the atoning grace of Jesus Christ." -Elder D. Todd Christofferson
Repentance is one of the first principles of the gospel and is essential to our temporal and eternal happiness. It is much more than just acknowledging wrongdoings. It is a change of mind and heart that gives us a fresh view about God, about ourselves, and about the world. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and the sincere desire to obey His commandments.
