This Sunday, we get to discuss the wonderful doctrine of eternal, or celestial, marriage. Every other church, or official, on the earth gives a bill of divorcement when a marriage is performed using the words, “...'till death do you part." President Joseph Fielding Smith points out that the Lord meant marriage to be eternal from the very beginning with Adam and Eve. Some things to consider as you read and study the lesson this week:
- Will all sisters who lived worthily of an eternal companion have that blessing?
- What blessing beyond eternal companionship does celestial marriage ensure?
- What blessings does eternal marriage give your children?
- Do you nourish your eternal marriage with expressions of love?
- What about children who die before marriageable age, yet are worthy, do they receive a companion?
The restored Gospel of Jesus Christ contains all the answers and more. How lucky we are to have found our membership. Let’s discuss together these and other questions this Sunday.
With Love,
Karen Bateman
