What define culture in our families?! Culture is defined as a set of traditions, beliefs, values, and customs that a group of people follow. Now, with this definition, lets apply culture to the family. Look at your own personal family and see what you see. As I look at my family I see a culture of love and care where we spend quality time together very often. I know that my dad loves my mom. Things are just simple in my family. We all love each other and enjoy playing games together. What is the culture of your family? Do you have incredible family nights? Do you do a lot of four wheeler riding? Maybe you enjoy horse back riding?
We have all grown up with these cultures that have come to define us. The real question is, what culture are we going to set in our future family? Are we going to show our children that we love our spouse? Cultures are good and they are bad. The Lamanites in the Book of Mormon followed many false traditions. In Mosiah 1:5 the Lamanites are taught true doctrine and they "do not believe them when they are taught them, because of the traditions of their fathers, which are not correct." We must not pass on false traditions like the Lamanites did. Don't pass on the culture of abuse and neglect. Instead, show your love and passion for the family. It is never to late to change. Give a compliment and do a random act of service. Change the culture now.
