Marriage should not be treated as a contract entered by pleasure from both partners that can be easily broken if it “doesn’t work out” without even regarding the children. Children need families with a mother and a father with a strong conviction to the gospel~ Dallin H. Oaks, Protect the Children, Conference October 2012
Early in our marriage, often I would open my scriptures to give a message in a meeting, and I would find an affectionate, supportive note Jeanene had slipped into the pages. Sometimes they were so tender that I could hardly talk. Those precious notes from a loving wife were and
continue to be a priceless treasure of comfort and inspiration. “The Eternal Blessings of Marriage," Elder Scott April 2011
"The secret of a happy marriage is to serve God and each other. The goal of marriage is unity and oneness, as well as self-development. Paradoxically, the more we serve one another, the greater is our spiritual and emotional growth."--Ezra Taft Benson, "Fundamentals of Enduring Family Relationships," Ensign, Nov. 1982, 59
Happiness does not consist of a glut of luxury, the world’s idea of a “good time” Nor must we search for it in faraway places with strange sounding names. Happiness is found at home.
Allow marriage and family to be a great source of happiness to you by being completely faithful to your spouse, speaking uplifting to them, expressing to them your feelings of love, and spending great time with your children.
Differences of opinion occur between husband and wife. But one’s objective in marriage is never to win an argument, but to build an eternal relationship of love. —Russell M. Nelson, Worldwide Leadership Training, January 2012
Marriage is like climbing a mountain. You tie yourself to a companion, and you start up the mountain of life. As a child comes along, you tie him to Mom and Dad and continue your journey. The ropes will hold all of the mountain climbers together. But there are many elements—the wind and the rain and the snow and the ice—all the elements of the world will tear at you to pull you off that eternal mountain. How do you reach the summit? -Elder Robert D. Hales " Preparing for a Heavenly Marriage" Feb 2006
“I have long felt that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion,” - Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley "Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley (1997), 325.
“
Marriage is the foundry for social order, the fountain of virtue, and the foundation for eternal exaltation. Marriage has been divinely designated as an eternal and everlasting covenant. Marriage is sanctified when it is cherished and honored in holiness. That union is not merely between husband and wife; it embraces a partnership with God.”—Russell M. Nelson“Nurturing Marriage,” Ensign, May 2006, 36

Do you tell your wife often how very much you love her? It will bring her great happiness. I’ve heard men tell me when I say that, “Oh, she knows.” You need to tell her. A woman grows and is greatly blessed by that reassurance. Express gratitude for what your spouse does for you. Express that love and gratitude often. That will make life far richer and more pleasant and purposeful. Don’t withhold those natural expressions of love. And it works a lot better if you are holding her close while you tell her.—Elder Richard G. Scott,“The Eternal Blessings of Marriage,” Ensign, May 2011, 95
From this topic I learned that marriage is something really especial that God gave to us together with taking care of a family. one of the goals of marriage is not only to have a eternal family, but also to have unity to serve one another. marriage is sacred and in these latters days is being attack with different ideas that dont go with God's commanmendts. I am glad that this past week i was able to get marry in the temple for eternity i know i would recieve a lot of blessings for follow this commandments, im going to apply each of these principals to my life and with my family in the future.
