In our life, the time before marriage is the formation stage; the time after marriage is the growth stage, and the time when you have a family is the completion stage. These are the fundamentals. (125-160)

In one day, morning is like spring, day is like summer, evening is like autumn, and night is like winter. Likewise, human beings have stages of childhood, youth, middle age, and old age. The spring time of life is puberty. Summer is the thirties, and autumn is the forties. \Then begins the winter period of life, and when the winter solstice comes, life ends. This applies to all principles of the four seasons and the day. (33-40)

Considering an individual life, there are periods of youth, middle age, and old age. When is the most precious time for you as a human being? For some, their destiny is decided in youth; for some, the whole problem of life is resolved in middle age; and for others, old age is such a time.

There is a prime time for everyone, whether it is youth, middle age, or old age. When we understand the prime period and estimate its time, we can see that it comes at one point of time. For instance, a mountain has its highest peak, where the whole mountain range culminates. When we see the watershed in the mountain, it works like a line that divides the inside and outside. There is such a point in our life. When is this time? We human beings do not know it. (36-217)

When is the hopeful time in our life? It is childhood, then adolescence, the 20s and the 30s. Comparing people to flowers, youth is the most glorious time, when flowers blossom and fragrances spread. When we become forty, fifty and sixty, the flowers start withering away. They go down on the way to death. What hope is there when death approaches? (137-217)

The most important times of life are the time of birth, marriage, and death. Then how should we be born? We should be born well. In our church terminology, babies should be born through a heart connection. Next is the time of marriage. We are married in order to live together and complete the four-position foundation. This public law of the universe must be established on earth for God's Will and humankind's will to be realized. The family is the unit that conforms to the direction of the cosmic law. (24-230)
