The gospel of Jesus, based on the father-child relationship, can only be world-wide embraced when modern homes embody more love and wisdom, as seen in Jesus' home in Galilee and John Mark's home in Judea, where acceptance of the gospel leads to immediate improvement. [1] Evangelists were instructed to abide in the first worthy home chosen in a city during their sojourn, showing kindness and courtesy to their hosts. [2]
Few modern homes can compare to the love and wisdom found in Jesus' and John Mark's homes, which exemplify the ideal environment for nurturing children and embodying the gospel teachings of a father-child relationship. [3] The home is founded on full sex equality during the golden age. [4] The early home, founded on male sex restlessness and female mother love, was a place where woman cultivated the soil to maintain a settled residence.

Home as a partnership between one man and one woman dates from Dalamatia, marking the dawn of the golden age of family life and the realization of sex equality.

The concept of home as a partnership between one man and one woman dates back to the days of Dalamatia, about one-half million years ago, evolving from monogamous practices abandoned long before by Andon and his descendants, but family life lacked significance until the time of the Nodites and Adamites.

In an advanced nation on a nearby planet laws and practices dictate that the smallest homesite must provide fifty thousand square feet of land, improving home life through compulsory parental education and guardianship qualifications for orphans, with religion and philosophy closely intertwined within the family unit. [11] The mores designed to stabilize marriage and family have always been essential in maintaining the stability of the home institution. [12]
Leaving home for the sake of the kingdom brings manifold blessings, both in this world and in the world to come. [13] True love of home is not enhanced by the reckless pursuit of pleasure, as the soul's hunger cannot be satisfied by physical indulgence alone. [14] Modern civilization is at a standstill in safeguarding the home, despite advancements in communication and world travel. [15] Morontia and spirit beings have homes designed and built by divine builders, rich in spiritual realities and individual expression. [16] "Family life is greatly strengthened by the unifying presence of both religion and children.". [17] The primary purpose of the home is to ensure the maintenance and perpetuation of oneself, with personal gratification being a secondary consideration. [18]
