How beautiful it would be if we could all attain an eternal marriage; however, Satan is working hard to attack marriage as our leaders say, he knows that destroying marriage he also destroys our eternal goal of returning to our Heavenly Father. It is our duty to teach our children the importance of eternal marriage, being an example for them, so they can differentiate between a marriage by “contract” of a marriage by “covenant” if our children learn from an early age the importance and the sacredness of the marriage, it will be easier for them to have a stable, and eternal family. They will have better opportunities to make better choices when getting married. When they get married, they will be prepared to bear all the trials that may arise in marriage.
We know there are no perfect marriages, however with the hard work of both we can have a happy marriage.
President Russell M Nelson said “Meanwhile, mortal misunderstandings can make mischief in a marriage. In fact, each marriage starts with two built-in handicaps. It involves two imperfect people. Happiness can come to them only through their earnest effort. Just as harmony comes from an orchestra only when its members make a concerted effort, so harmony in marriage also requires a concerted effort. That effort will succeed if each partner will minimize personal demands and maximize actions of loving selflessness.”
Sadly, many people have an erroneous concept of marriage, forgetting the true meaning. We see how couples deceive their spouses so easily, and this is seen as normal. how they forget so quickly about the reason led them to get married. It is easy for them to marry with the option of divorce, or to continue living together even though there is no respect, because they do not see the sacred nature of this covenant. It is ironic because I had a personal experience about marriage followed by a divorce, but still I believe faithfully in the sacredness of eternal marriage. I believe that the Lord wants us to be happy with our spouse, with love and respect and give everything in our power to get an eternal marriage. Giving all our soul to care for and support the person we chose freely whom we made an eternal promise.
