An evening home with the family or an evening out to some place of interest with your family only partly solves the need of the home evening.

Merely going to a show or a party together, or fishing, only half satisfies the real need, but to stay home and teach the children the gospel, the scriptures, and love for each other and love for their parents is most important.
