Episode 1: Making Marriage Great Again

Married Couples - Making Great Marriages

Dec 15 2021 • 41 mins

Marriage is the great adventure of our lives.  Finding another compatible sweetheart and combining two lives to create a family and then to add family members by our ability as male and female to add to our family size, and then rear them to maturity is perhaps the most important thing we do in this life.  Unfortunately, there are too many who seem to disregard their marriage vows (covenants) and look for an exit to the marriage -- sometimes after not many months or years.  That has to stop.  Marriage was designed by Deity to be an eternal compact and the Church builds temples and provides sacred places for the couple to be sealed together for time and all eternity.  In that ceremony, the sealer represents the God of heaven and offers the couple at least 14 blessings as a part of their ceremony.  There is simply no excuse for the extent of divorce that takes place in our society, both in and out of the Church.  Both companions are interviewed by a bishop and a stake president prior to the temple ordinance and receive counsel.  Parents provide lavish receptions where well-wishers bring tons of presents to help get them off to a good start and then they stand ready to help the couple in any difficulties that may arise.
