There is hope in the future when people of all colors seek true parents. So marriage is also conducted to fit that standard. You should understand this. From now on you must be proud of your marriage and family. You should boast about it. They are more than we can hope for. Everybody should participate in it. Then it spreads to a thousand, ten million, and becomes my tribe, people, and nation. According to this principle, it enlarges and people, nation, world are formed. What did I say the first thing you should be proud of is? First God, and then your heart, your body, your love, and finally your family. There is nothing in the world that you can be more proud of. You cannot exchange this with anything else, even for the world. And we own this precious thing. You should understand that family is a requirement. Through family the vertical and horizontal can be united. They are connected through the family. That is why sons and daughters are a must and why there also must be parents. There must be an object, this is the Principle. Parents, children, and husband and wife are all required. Do you understand? [Yes] So we must all act. If we have these three elements, wherever you may go, even in the spirit world, you can pass! You can pass wherever you go. (162-54) In order to walk this path, just man and woman will not do. There must be children. Why? When you go to the spirit world, the gates of East, West, South and North are still not open. You can create this only by marrying and having children, just as God created Adam and Eve. (181-82) You must know that your husband, your children, and your parents and grandparents are the three guiding angels of heaven. Your grandparents, spouse and children are the three angels. So mothers and fathers learn from the grandparents and children. Do you understand? Husbands must learn from their wives and vice versa. This is a fact, and the true tradition of a family. The reason we have sons and daughters is to learn the way of loving the world. Children connect to the world and future. If you have no children you cannot be connected to the future. God has given us children as a tool of education. Grandparents are there for education about the spirit world. If you are dutiful before your grandfather and grandmother... The spirit world has that system. It is to be educated about the spirit world. Please understand this. (135-120)
