My father was in the Bishopric or HC and my mother was always in some presidency my entire youth. We were a very quiet Mormon family that cared for each other but our emotions were kept to ourselves.
After my mission I went and lived with an uncle and his family for the summer. They were semi active where Sunday could mean a day at church or one on the lake. They were very emotional and much more vocal in their feeling toward one another both good and bad.
I always thought a mix of the two would be ideal. I should have been more diligent with scripture study and FHE but I sure my boys would say I've never put a church job before them. They are both planning on missions so I consider that a success.
