Marriage!!!

Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of Faith, Prayer, Repentance, Forgiveness, Respect, Love, Compassion, Work, and Wholesome Recreational Activities. (The Family: A Proclamation To The World)

I am convinced that a Husband is never more attractive to his wife than when he is serving in his God-given roles as a worthy priesthood holder. (Linda K. Burton)

Love is spelled TIME. (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf)

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers. (Ruth Bell Graham)

You will Forever be MY Always! (Unknown)

Love is meant to be an adventure. (Gordon B. Hinckley)


Those who are married should consider their union as their most cherished earthly relationship. A spouse is the only person other than the Lord whom we have been commanded to love with all our heart. One of our Heavenly Father's first commandments was to multiply and replenish the earth. Genesis 1:28 says, "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:.." 

In Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 24, we learn about husband and wife. It says, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh." 

We are taught that marriage is between one man and woman. Marriage was made this way because we have been commanded to "multiply and replenish the earth", to bring our Heavenly Father's children to this earth so that they can have the same opportunities as we have had, so that they can help to fulfill Heavenly Father's plan to be tried and to be tested. Marriage is the way to do that.
