Two Lovers, Two Mirrors, One Eternal Family

Marriage between a man and a woman has always existed. It is the way mankind has been able to set up families founded on order and good principle.
For those who work with it, it is a beautiful thing.
In a normal civil marriage, the word’s “Till’ death do you part.” Often throws a monkey wrench in what is hoped to be a long-lasting relationship.
Fortunately, this does not have to be the case.

Fundamental Beliefs on Families
The entire human race is part of one family; God is the head of that family.
His work and glory to bring about eternal life with Him.
If He finds joy in raising His own family [the human race in this instance], why wouldn’t he want man to experience that same joy?
Marriage, the sacred bond between a man and a woman is very important in the eyes of God.
Man are to be responsible and worthy husbands, and woman responsible wives, and both are in complete and full alliance in responsibility and fidelity to each-other. They are to lead their children in example, word and action so they too can enjoy the full blessings of happiness of the family.
These are the words of modern prophets, and apply very much today as they did ten-so years ago.
This is not to say every family is perfect, but when everyone strives on these principles happiness [though not always immediate] DOES COME.

How Can Marriage be Eternal?
Eternal Marriage CANNOT be done by man’s authority.
It is through the Atonement of Jesus Christ that man can be given the priesthood [or authority] to do so.
God has commanded men to erect temples to keep such ceremonies sacred and done in His eyes.

The effects are far reaching, and the sacrifices are worth every mile. The family as a whole can enjoy the blessings as each commitment is held on man’s part.
