"Celestial marriage is a pivotal part of preparation for eternal life. It requires one to be married to the right person, in the right place, by the right authority, and to obey that sacred covenant faithfully. Then one may be assured of exaltation in the celestial kingdom of God."
"The best choice is a celestial marriage. Thankfully, if a lesser choice has previously been made, a choice can now be made to upgrade it to the best choice. That requires a mighty change of heart and a permanent personal upgrade. Blessings so derived are worth all efforts made."
"Harmony in marriage comes only when one esteems the welfare of his or her spouse among their highest of priorities. When that really happens, a celestial marriage becomes a reality, bringing great joy in this life and in the life to come."
The family proclamation says a husband and wife have a responsibility to care for each other.
"But what of the many mature members of the church who are not married? Through no failing of their own, they deal with the trials of life alone. Be we all reminded that, in the Lord's own way and time, no blessings will be withheld from his faithful Saints. The Lord will judge and reward each individual according to heartfelt desire as well as deed."
