Eternal Family Unions Bring the Greatest Happiness
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings
"Brethren and sisters, material possessions and honors of the world do not endure. But your union as wife, husband, and family can. The only duration of family life that satisfies the loftiest longings of the human soul is forever. No sacrifice is too great to have the blessings of an eternal marriage. To qualify, one needs only to deny oneself of ungodliness and honor the ordinances of the temple. By making and keeping sacred temple covenants, we evidence our love for God, for our companion, and our real regard for our posterity?even those yet unborn. Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life."
-- Russell M. Nelson, "Set in Order Thy House," Ensign, Nov. 2001, 71
