The Family Mission Statement

A family mission statement is a written statement of what you want your life and family to be, and the values by which you will live your life.

•  How are we going to live our lives? •  What values are we going to use to help us make major decisions?

•  What are our priorities? •  What are our family values? •  Are we spending the majority of our time on our priorities or are we being distracted with things that aren’t important to us?

Let’s do the work!

1. What kind of spouse do you want to be to

each other? 2. How do you want to be treated by each

other? 3. How do you want to go about resolving

conflict?
