Advice for Nurturing a Marriage
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings
"Marriage itself must be regarded as a sacred covenant before God. A married couple have an obligation not only to each other, but to God. He has promised blessings to those who honor that covenant. . . ."Husbands and wives who love each other will find that love and loyalty are reciprocated. This love will provide a nurturing atmosphere for the emotional growth of children. . . ."Restraint and self-control must be ruling principles in the marriage relationship."
-- Ezra Taft Benson, "Salvation?A Family Affair," Ensign, July 1992, 2
