"There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of humans, are created, strengthened, and maintained."
- Winston Churchill, UK's Prime Minister, 1940 to 1945. History has consistently proved the truth of these words.
One such history is the fall of the Roman Empire, which thrived when its citizens valued marriage and family. Its fall was preceded by a collapse in family values when the family stopped being cherished. Being intentional in creating virtuous and strong families will benefit us individually, and society at large.
