The Family is ordained of God, and through the Melchizedek Priesthood families can be together forever. It is not meet for man to be alone. We chose to come to earth to prove to God we desire to live with him forever. He will force no one to live with them, if they do not choose. Our love for God is only manifested through obedience to his commandments. "It is a family responsibility to heal, teach, minister to, protect and preserve the family connections and covenantal relationships in the spirit realm and in the mortal world. This is their first responsibility as departed spirits. Until that work is done, until the family relationships are preserved and sealed, all other things must wait"John Pontius; Visions of Glory, page 26
