About the Product: Published in 1981 by Deseret Book
Marriage is perhaps the most vital of all the decisions and has the most far-reaching effects, for it has to do not only with immediate happiness, but eternal joys as well." In two moving and powerful essays, President Spencer W. Kimball, twelfth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, speaks out about the im-portance of choosing a marriage partner wisely, working together toward common goals, and resolving conflicts and problems.
"True marriage," he declares, is based on a happiness that comes from giving, serving, sharing, sacrificing, and selflessness."
President Kimball discusses the problems of divorce, particularly divorce among members of the Church, noting that although the divorce rate for those who have been married in the temple is considerably lower than for nontemple marriages, "we are chagrined that there should be any divorce following a temple marriage."
Marriage brings together under one cover two widely read and popular discussions by this beloved prophet, seer, and Revelator: "John and Mary, Beginning Life Together" and Marriage and Divorce." The message of each is pertinent for every young person contemplating marriage, for every bishop, parent, counselor, or teacher who counsels those preparing for marriage, and for every married person who wants sound guidance in how to keep the glow of marriage alive for this life and eternity.
