In Henry B Eyring's talk, "That We May Be One," he introduces his talk by saying, "And at the creation of man and woman, unity for them in marriage was not given as hope, it was a command!" When I read this sentence, it stood out to me. I already understand the truthfulness of this sentence, but I realized as I read this, that the world doesn't understand the same.
"The requirement that we be one is not for this life alone. It is to be without end." How amazingly true is this statement?! We, as Latter-day Saints, understand that marriage is not just for this life. It is NOT just "till death to us part," but for eternity. Majority of the world views marriage to be something that's easily escaped, and that the correspondence is temporary or earthy. It isn't.
How grateful I am to have knowledge of this.
