"First our relationship with God is most sacred and vital. We experience greater peace, joy, and fulfillment as we give our best to live according to God's eternal plan and keep His commandments."
"Our second key relationship is with our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home."

"The fourth key relationship is with ourselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to know yourself better. Learn to see yourself as Heavenly Father sees you - as His precious daughter or son with divine potential."
