Our earthly family is patterned after our heavenly family. We were all brothers and sisters in heaven. We were children of God. God was the leader of our heavenly home. We received loving care and guidance from our heavenly parents. God sent each of us to a family here on earth. He has given parents the responsibility to care for each of His children while they are here on earth. Parents should love their children and provide for them food, clothing, and a home. They should teach their children about God and how they may become like Him. The family is the most important group of people on earth. Our earthly family is patterned after our heavenly family.

No, I don't have a reference to back it up. But once sealed to someone then everyone sealed to you or them are then sealed to each other. That's why the sealing ordinance is so important. Things to get a bit foggy in [humanity's] imperfection though. I'm sealed to my husband. His mom and dad were sealed in the temple, but divorced and excommunicated. His Dad since then has been sealed to his 2nd spouse. Would that sealing still count? I would think it should count for the kids because obviously they did nothing to break that covenant. Pretend that is true. So that would mean because Sam is sealed to his brothers I would also be sealed to them as a sister(in-law). That's one oft those eternal things I have to take on faith though. I don't know how my family will resolve itself in the eternities (being a convert and having my parents divorced, and no they're not members), but I can do my best to try to do all the work I can and try to proclaim the gospel to them.
