Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Marriage carries a sense of purpose that reaches far beyond a wedding day or the daily routines of family life, reminding us that the relationships we build now matter eternally. As we give our hearts fully to our spouse and family, we experience the kind of joy, belonging, and lasting connection that God intends for His children.
Scripture
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”—Genesis 2:24
Quote
“Great promises are made to every couple, and this by the Lord and his prophets, that as parents plan their lives and carry forward their marriage in selflessness and rear their children with care and love, they have rejoicing in their posterity throughout their lives.”—Spencer W. Kimball, “Marriage is Honorable”

Living the Principle: Marriage is Honorable
- Set aside consistent time each week to strengthen your relationship through meaningful conversation, shared experiences, or quiet time together without distractions.
- Look for one small way each day to serve your spouse or family member with patience, encouragement, or kindness before being asked.
- Make choices that protect unity in the home by speaking with respect, resolving conflict quickly, and putting relationships ahead of pride.
