“Bring Up Your Children in Light and Truth”
Doctrine and Covenants 93:40
40 But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth.
The sixth paragraph of “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” states:
“Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. ‘Children are an heritage of the Lord’ (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.”
(“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2010, 129.)
