The founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU), Reverend Dr. Sun Myung Moon, has emphasized throughout his life that each family should become a true family. Below are a few selected excerpts of his teachings on this topic.

"The first great subject partner you are to become is a true parent. God created us as His children. We were to become true children by perfecting our individual character after going through an autonomous period of spiritual growth based on the principles God established. We were then to become true couples, have our own children and attain the position of true parents. In this way, we were to perfect ourselves by practicing and embodying the true love that God bestowed on us when He created us.

"In reality however, moral values in our world today are deteriorating rapidly. The moral laws governing the relationship between parents and children have been rejected. Fidelity between couples is being discarded as an old-fashioned idea of previous generations, and brotherly love between siblings has become rare and buried in the swamp of self-centered individualism. For these reasons, the most important thing to do is establish true families based on true love. This means we must build families in which three generations live together in true love with true parents at the center." (excerpted from The Three Great Subject Partners Principle from the Viewpoint of God's Providence, a speech given on July 4, 2007)

"Respected world leaders, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? Simply put, it is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? First, each person in the family is an owner of true love. When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. The quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love was to secure a parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live attending God as their Father. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God.

"I invite you to enter into a transcendent state and prayerfully ask God, “What is the center of the universe?” The answer you hear will undoubtedly be, “the parent–child relationship.” Nothing is more important or more precious than the relationship between parent and child. This is because it defines the fundamental relationship between the Creator God and human beings.

"Then, what defines the parent-child relationship? Three things: love, life and lineage.

"The first is love. We can love with true love because God, our True Parent, first loved us with true love. God created human beings out of His absolute love, to be His partners in love. This relationship forms an axis of love, linking God the Father with human beings as His sons and daughters." (excerpted from God's Ideal Family and the Kingdon of the Peaceful, Ideal World, a speech given on September 12, 2005

"Then what would have been the ideal that God hoped to achieve through the creation of humankind? It was to fulfill the four-position foundation. The four-position foundation signifies Adam and Eve in a state of complete union with God. This makes it impossible for them to separate from the realm of God’s love, no matter how hard they may try. In other words, it refers to the foundation of a family with God as its center, established when the husband and wife have achieved complete oneness not only with each other but also with God, and when they have become an ideal couple and given birth to ideal children. When the family four-position foundation is thus completed, that family becomes a family of the ideal of creation desired by God.

"Generally speaking, a family is formed through the coming together of husband and wife and of parents and children. At the center of that family group there must be God’s love. At this point, the husband represents heaven and the wife earth. Although they are two separate beings, when husband and wife have become one, horizontally speaking, their union symbolizes the unity of heaven and earth. Simply put, when husband and wife are in unity based on God’s love, the way to bring unity in the universe opens up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, God created the world to receive joy from it. Since even the absolute being, God, could not feel joy while alone, He needed a partner with whom He could share the giving and receiving of love. This is because joy cannot be learned all by oneself, but can only be experienced through a partner.

"To put it in another way, God created this world in order to feel joy from seeing humankind and all things of the creation become one through His love, forming a harmonious and peaceful world of love. On such a basis, human beings were meant to form true conjugal relationships centering upon His love, and to establish families, tribes, peoples, nations and a world of true love. God created this world to participate directly in this process and to feel joy from it."(excerpted from God's Model Ideal Family and Nation, and the Peace Kingdom, a speech given in March 2006

The Reverend Dr. Sun Myung Moon and his wife Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon have devoted their entire lives to the establishment of true families on the earth, not only in their own family, and not only amongst believers, but in society at large.

In this website, we feature information about six of Reverend and Mrs. Moon's children, whom Reverend Moon has asked to help in fulfilling the mission given to him by God: Hyo Jin Moon, In Jin Moon, Hyun Jin Moon, Kook Jin Moon, Sun Jin Moon and Hyung Jin Moon.
