Strengthening Marriage
#1
Faith
is the foundation of every virtue that strengthens marriage.
Strengthening faith strengthens marriage. Faith grows as we keep the
commandments, and so do the harmony and joy in marriage. Thus,
keeping the commandments is fundamental to establishing strong
eternal marriages. Watch and learn: faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
is the foundation of happy eternal marriages.

I
invite each marital partner to consider these suggestions and then
determine specific goals to nurture your own relationship. Begin with
sincere desire. Identify those actions needed to bless your spiritual
unity and purpose. Above all, do not be selfish! Generate a spirit of
selflessness and generosity. Celebrate and commemorate each day
together as a treasured gift from heaven.

If
you have concerns about your family, ask the missionaries! They can
help you! Strengthening marriages and families is of utmost
importance to Latter-day Saints. Families can be together forever.
Ask the missionaries to teach you how this is possible for your
family.

We
understand that the home is the basic unit created by God for our
service and learning. Out of this understanding grows a commitment to
make our time spent with family a top priority and to look inside to
determine how to be a better companion. Out of these reflections flow
actions that are kind and loving and forgiving toward our spouses. We
see sisters who truly desire their children to partake of the fruit
of the gospel by going on missions and marrying in the temple, so
they spend time holding meaningful family home evenings, family
scripture study, and prayer, and in regular personal temple
attendance. The declaration will be a continual reminder to focus on
our most important responsibilities.
