“A couple in love can choose a marriage of the highest quality or a lesser type that will not endure. Or they can choose neither.... “The best choice is a celestial marriage.” Russell M. Nelson “Celestial Marriage,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2008, 92, 94 1 of 2

“There is no substitute for marrying in the temple. It is the only place under the heavens where marriage can be solemnized for eternity. Don’t cheat yourself. Don’t cheat your companion. Don’t shortchange your lives. Marry the right person in the right place at the right time.” Gordon B. Hinckley “Life’s Obligations,” Ensign, Feb. 1999, 2 1 of 2

“If you hope to have an eternal companion who has certain spiritual qualities, then you must strive to develop those spiritual qualities in yourself. Then someone who has those qualities will be attracted to you.” David A. Bednar in “Understanding Heavenly Father’s Plan”; lds.org/prophets-and- apostles/unto-all-the- world/understanding-heavenly- fathers-plan

“Now, there are those among you fine young members of the Church who might never marry. Although they are worthy in every way, they may never find someone to whom they will be sealed in the temple of the Lord in this life.... Dieter F. Uchtdorf “The Reflection in the Water” (Church Educational System devotional, Nov. 1, 2009) 1 of 3

“... I cannot tell you why one individual’s prayers are answered one way while someone else’s are answered differently. But this I can tell you: the righteous desires of your hearts will be fulfilled. Dieter F. Uchtdorf “The Reflection in the Water” (Church Educational System devotional, Nov. 1, 2009) 2 of 3

“... The brief span of this life is nothing in comparison with eternity. And if only we can hope and exercise faith and joyfully endure to the end... there, in that great heavenly future, we will have the fulfillment of the righteous desires of our hearts and so very much more that we can scarcely comprehend now.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf “The Reflection in the Water” (Church Educational System devotional, Nov. 1, 2009) 3 of 3
