LESSON: October 27th, Marriage: Watch and Learn

Sister Sharon Blomquist gave this wonderful lesson from the May Conference Ensign.  The talk is by Elder L. Whitney Clayton of the Presidency of the Seventy.  Pg. 83.

The promises of the Lord are extended to all those who follow the pattern of life that builds happy, holy marriage relationships.

Watch and Learn:

  • The best marriage partners regard their marriages as priceless
  • Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation of happy, eternal marriages
  • Repentance and Humility build happy marriages
  • Terrific marriages are completely respectful, transparent and loyal
  • Successful couples love each other with complete devotion
Sister Blomquist also shared the following inspiring quotes:

"Your spouse is the only other person, other than the Lord, whom you have been commanded to love with all your heart."  See D&C 42:22

"Choose your love, Love your choice!"

"None of us are as good as we know we should be.  No one is perfect, but we must keep trying..."

"Being happily and successfully married is generally not so much a matter of marrying the right person, as it is being the right person."

"Marriage is a gift from God to us.  The quality of our marriage is a gift to Him."
