They Shall Be One Flesh | 5 August

- Advertisment - LDS Bookstore Jewelry
Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! Marriage is about coming together and building something beautiful in unity. Today, learn about spiritual growth as a couple.

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

Spiritual growth comes by solving problems together—not by running from them. Today’s inordinate emphasis on individualism brings egotism and separation. Two individuals becoming “one flesh” is still the Lord’s standard.—Ezra Taft Benson
