I'm happy you're interested in learning more about the LDS Church. Depends on the family. Generically it is
1. An opening song.
2. Followed by a prayer inviting God, per the Holt Ghost to be a part of the evening.
3. Then a lesson, scripture, and/or a spritual and/oe a family discussion hopefully attended with a game or fun activity.
4. Then a closing prayer which usually included thanks for the evening anda suplimental plea for a blessing on a family treat or desert.
As a young married couples I feel FHE is usually spent in scripture reading and/or further discisions and sharing and getting to know each other, fam. goals etc.
As they have a family the nights become more of a learning and teaching of patience for kids and parents, and usually is more of an adventure of parenting than anything.
As kids grow things settle down and the spirit is felt a lot more often.
Basically, I personally feel this is the best time for God's children to pass on familt traditions, and build the unit of society that is the Backbone for successful cultures.
OK, my poor two cents, come on parents, chime in and share.
