Eternal Marriage Is an Eternal Journey
Excerpts
In my 74 years, there are only a few experiences where nearly every emotion and feeling are solidly cemented in my conscious mind. One of the most poignant is as I knelt across the altar from Kathy in a holy temple of God. …
… Like our own discipleship, our eternal marriage is not a short-term experiment but a journey, an eternal journey of becoming who God desires us to become.
In much of the world, confidence in the lasting nature of marriage is eroding. In the gospel of Jesus Christ, we proclaim that “marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God.” We believe in eternal marriage, we teach of eternal marriage, and we seek an eternal marriage.
We anticipate our marriage with faith and confidence because we conscientiously prepare for the covenants we make in the house of the Lord. …
We profoundly need the gift of the Holy Ghost in our personal lives and in our marriage. …
… Keep your hope in each other and in Jesus Christ. His promises can see us through the obstacles and distractions. …
While embracing the happiness and sorrows of life’s experiences, we etch our covenants indelibly upon our souls, and we keep our eyes focused heavenward, toward the glorious destination awaiting us. We know the divine attributes we seek will not all be perfected in this life. Eternal marriage is an eternal journey.
