“There is nothing more important than honoring the marriage
and family covenants you have made or will make in the temples of God.” Families
under Covenant , By President Henry B. Eyring, April 2012
“Third, husbands and wives, you should be equal partners in
your marriage. Read often and understand the proclamation on the family and
follow it. Avoid unrighteous dominion in any form. No one owns a spouse or
children; God is the Father of us all and has extended to us the privilege of
our own family, which was previously only His, to help us become more like Him.”
That the Lost May Be Found ,By Elder M. Russell Ballard, April 2012
“First, I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the
love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that
makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your
companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and
soften the sorrows of your companion.” Our Perfect Example , Henry B. Eyring,
October 2009

your family.” The Way of the Disciple, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, April 2009
