And they were married, and given in marriage, and were blessed according to the multitude of the promises which the Lord had made unto them.

. . . they did walk after the commandments which they had received from their Lord and their God, continuing in fasting and prayer, and in meeting together oft both to pray and to hear the word of the Lord. - 4 Ne. 1:11-12"Honorable marriage is more important than wealth, position, and status," said President Ezra Taft Benson in the April 1988 general conference. "As husband and wife, you can achieve your life's goals together. As you sacrifice for each other and your children, the Lord will bless you, and your commitment to the Lord and your service in His kingdom will be enhanced."
