For TIME... And All ETERNITY!!!

Marriage means different things to different people. For some it just means to be married and that is that. But for me, marriage means that I can be sealed for Time and ALL Eternity to my best friend. In today's day and age, marriage isn't as important as it used to be. But for many, there is still hope that there is one person. There are still people who believe that being married is of God.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I also believe that when you are married, you can be sealed for time and all eternity to your spouse. It sounds kind of crazy, but it would be just as hard to have a family, have someone who you love so much and not be able to be with them forever.

Here are just a few quotes and a few scriptures about marriage that I like and love!!!

"A strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It is a husband and wife who take turns being strong for each other in the moments when the other feels weak." -Ashley Willis

"Rules for a Happy Marriage:
1. Never both be angry at the same time.
2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.
3. If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your spouse.
4.If you have to criticize, do it lovingly.
5. Never bring up mistakes from the past.
6. Neglect the whole world rather than each other.
7. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.
8. At least once a day say a kind word or pay a compliment to your partner.
9. When you have done something wrong, admit it and ask for forgiveness.
10. It takes two to make a quarrel, and the one in the wrong is usually the one who does the most talking." -Unknown

"You don't marry someone you can live with-You marry the person you cannot live without."
-Unknown

"We simply can't abandon ship every time we encounter a storm in our marriage. Real love is about weathering the storms of live together." -Seth Adam Smith

"Marriage provides an ideal setting for overcoming any tendency to be selfish or self-centered."
-Richard G. Scott

"If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don't expose it to the elements. You don't make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, You lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by." -Elder F. Burton Howard

"None of us marry perfection; we marry potential." -Robert D. Hales

"Marriage & Children are not part of the plan of happiness, it IS the plan of happiness."
-Boyd K. Packer

"Many things are good, many are important, but only a few are essential."-D. Todd Christofferson

"Make it your goal to create a marriage that feels like the safest place on earth." -Greg Smalley

"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27
