"As a people, aren't we grateful that family prayer is not an out-of-date practice with us? There is no more beautiful sight in all this world than to see a family praying together. There is real meaning behind the oft-quoted 'The family that prays together stays together.'"The Lord directed that we have family prayer when He said, 'Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed' (3 Nephi 18:21)."
Thomas S. Monson, "Come unto Him in Prayer and Faith," Ensign, Mar. 2009, 5
