Four years ago today, Kenny and I walked outside the doors of the Nauvoo temple hand in hand. Our loved ones surrounded us and congratulated us as we had just made covenants with God to be married for this life and the life to come. Two and a half years later, our eternal family expanded to three as our precious daughter was born.
I am excited today to not only celebrate the day I was married, but also the day my own eternal family was formed.
It is the gospel of Jesus Christ that provides the
foundation upon which we can find lasting peace and build eternal family units.
L. Tom Perry
The happy home is one where the family lives together, works
together, plays together, and prays together; where the parents show love and
courtesy and demonstrate it to each other.
N. Eldon Tanner
The next morning about 4:00 a.m., I was awakened as I felt
two little arms around my neck, a kiss on the cheek, and these words whispered
in my ear, which I will never forget: “Dad, I love you. You are my best
friend.”
If you are having that kind of experience in your family,
you are having one of the supernal joys of life.
Richard G. Scott
The doctrine of the family begins with heavenly parents. Our
highest aspiration is to be like them.
Robert D. Hales
The plan of the Father is that family love and companionship
will continue into the eternities. Being one in a family carries a great
responsibility of caring, loving, lifting, and strengthening each member of the
family so that all can righteously endure to the end in mortality and dwell
together throughout eternity.
Robert D. Hales
Our homes are next to the temple in sacredness. They are an
uplifting refuge, in which we instruct our families as to what the Lord expects
of us.
Ted E. Brewerton
Life is eternal. The god of heaven has also made possible
eternal love and eternal family relationships. God bless our dear young people
that as they look forward to marriage, they may look not only for rewarding
companionship and rich and fruitful family relationships through all of their
mortal days, but to an even better estate where love and treasured associations
may be felt and known under a promise given of God.
President Gordon B.
Hinckley
Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of Jesus Christ.
