Divorce - Elder Oaks, Apr 2007

Divorce

by Dallin H. Oaks

April 2007 General Conference

"President Spencer W. Kimball taught: 'Two individuals approaching the marriage altar must realize that to attain the happy marriage which they hope for they must know that marriage … means sacrifice, sharing, and even a reduction of some personal liberties. It means long, hard economizing. It means children who bring with them financial burdens, service burdens, care and worry burdens; but also it means the deepest and sweetest emotions of all.'"

Celestial Marriage

by Russell M. Nelson

Nurturing Marriage - April 2006

Nurturing Marriage

by Russell M. Nelson

April 2006 General Conference

"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. A marriage sealed there launches a husband and wife into that grand order of unity so necessary to the perfection of God’s work."
