Marriage

Marriage

“It is only with the companionship of the Holy Ghost that we can hope to be equally yoked in a marriage free from discord.” To My Grandchildren, Henry B. Erying, April 2013

"Because sexual intimacy is so sacred, the Lord requires self-control and purity before marriage as well as full fidelity after marriage.” Preparation Brings Blessings, Thomas S. Monson, April, 2010

“To willfully destroy a marriage, either your own or that of another couple, is to offend our God. Such a thing will not be lightly considered in the judgments of the Almighty and in the eternal scheme of things will not easily be forgiven.” Marriage, Boyd K. Packer, April, 1981

“Marriage is the shelter where families are created. That society which puts low value on marriage sows the wind and, in time, will reap the whirlwind—and thereafter, unless they repent, bring upon themselves a holocaust!” Marriage, Boyd K. Packer, April, 1981

“Marriage between a man and a women is God’s pattern for a fullness of life on earth and in heaven.” Decisions for Eternity, Elder Russell M. Nelson, October, 2013

“We know that the marriage of a man and a woman is necessary for the accomplishment of God’s plan.  Only this marriage will provide the approved setting for mortal birth and to prepare family members for eternal life.” No other Gods, Elder Dallin H. Oaks, October, 2013

“The main effects of these depreciating attitudes about the sanctity of marriage are the consequences to families—the strength of families is deteriorating at an alarming rate.” Obedience to Law Is Liberty, Elder L. Tom Perry, April, 2013

“Without marriage, the purposes of the Lord would be frustrated. Choice spirits would be withheld from the experience of mortality. And postponing marriage unduly often means limiting your posterity, and the time will come, brethren, when you will feel and know that loss.” To the Single Adult Brethren of the Church, EZRA TAFT BENSON, April 1988 

“Honorable marriage is more important than wealth, position, and status. As husband and wife, you can achieve your life’s goals together. As you sacrifice for each other and your children, the Lord will bless you, and your commitment to the Lord and your service in His kingdom will be enhanced.” To the Single Adult Brethren of the Church, EZRA TAFT BENSON, April 1988

“Marriage was intended by the Lord to endure beyond physical death. His plan offers eternal perpetuation of the family in the kingdom of God. His plan provides temples and opportunities to officiate therein for the living and the dead.” Nurturing Marriage, Elder Russell M. Nelson, April, 2006

As I did the research into the topic of marriage it was amazing the information there is.  I believe that marriage is between a man and a women. That marriage is the heart of the home. Marriage is for eternity is sealed in a temple and covenants are kept.  I believe that the Lord wants everyone to have the blessing of marriage and we need to keep in tune with the Lord so that we can have the assurance that we are doing as the Lord would have us do.  Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day.  The husband and the wife need to communicate with each other and the Lord to create an amazing relationship.
