Lesson Recap

Heather Olsen did a wonderful job teaching us about Eternal Marriage.  Joseph Fielding Smith said, “There is no ordinance connected with the Gospel of Jesus Christ of greater importance, of more solemn and sacred nature, and more necessary to [our] eternal joy . . . than marriage.”  This blessing will be available to all even if they did not have the opportunity in this life. “No one will be deprived of exaltation who remains faithful.” Being married in the temple is not the end it is just the beginning. We must work in our marriages every day to make them eternal marriages.  Heather used  Elder L. Whitney Claytons talk from the April 2013 Conference titled, “Marriage:  Watch and Learn” to give us ideas to help make our marriages eternal.  He gave us 5 different things to help us in our marriage.  First, consider your relationship to be a pearl beyond price.  Second, build your foundation faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Third, rely on the gift of repentance.  Fourth, treat each other with respect and as equal partners.  Fifth, live together in love. This is a wonderful talk and she encouraged us to read it and apply the message in it.
