Celestial Marriage

I read a great article on Celestial Marriage by Russel M. Nelson. He talked about how picking your partner is a lot like shopping. How a wise shopper study's their options thoroughly before they make a selection. Then there are bargain shoppers that just search for the best deal and don't really think about what they're doing. How you need to decide what you want in a companion and you shouldn't settle because it's the "bargain" of a deal or it's "easier".

He also talked about how your salvation is an individual matter, and your exaltation is a family matter. It depends on you family whether or not you will receive exaltation. A good quote is "the noblest yearning of the human heart is for a marriage that can endure beyond death."

There were a couple other quotes that I wanted to share:

"husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other." So it is your responsibility to love you husband/wife as well as them love you, it has to go both ways or else it won't work.

The last quote I want to share is from President Thomas S. Monson:
"To find real happiness,  we must seek for it in a focus outside ourselves. No one has learned the meaning of living until he has surrendered his ego to the service of his fellow man. Service to others is akin to duty-the fulfillment of which brings true joy."
We have to serve our spouses, we have to be there for them and do everything that we can to be the best for them, and they should strive to be the best for you.
