“A family council, when conducted with love and with Christlike attributes, will counter the impact of modern technology that often distracts us from spending quality time with each other and also tends to bring evil right into our homes.”
There are at least four types of family counsels.
1. Full Family Council
a. Includes all family members
2. Executive Family Council
a. Includes only the parents
3. Limited Family Council
a. Includes both parents and an individual child
4. One-on-one Family Council
a. Includes one parent and one child
“Everyone can adapt a family council to take advantage of this divine pattern established by our loving Heavenly Father.”
“Combined with prayer, a family council will invite the presence of the Savior, as He promised: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
If any of you hold family councils in your own homes, we would love to hear your experiences and what benefits you have seen in your life and the lives of your family. From reading and studying this talk, I can see the benefits of implementing this in our lives.
