Yes! After we die, we will live together forever with our families if we have been sealed together for time and all eternity and then hold true to the promises we made when we were sealed. This sealing ordinance is performed in LDS temples, and it's very beautiful. All of the family members are dressed in white, and they kneel around an altar and hold hands while someone with authority from God seals the family together for time and all eternity.
Children born to parents who are already sealed together don't need to go to the temple to be sealed to their parents. Any children the couple have will be considered "born in the covenant," meaning that they are already sealed to their parents.
People who died before they understood the importance of being sealed, or those who never even knew about it, will get the chance to be sealed to their families. Mormons are hard at work already performing those ordinances for their own deceased family members by proxy in temples. Once the ordinance is done, the deceased person can choose to accept or reject it. Vicarious ordinances don't take effect unless the deceased person wants them to.
Mormon.org is a great website for learning more about the purpose of families and how we can be happier together.
