Courtship
“Many young people have reached an age where they are old enough to look for a companion and mate. As they commence dating on a steady basis, you will enter a period known as courtship. This will be a thrilling and important time in your lives. “ President McKay
Courtship is a wonderful period. It should be a sacred one. That is the time in which you choose your mate.
Young men, your success in life depends upon that choice. Choose prayerfully the one who inspires you to your best and always
remember that no man injures the thing he loves. … The seeds of a happy marriage are sown in youth. Happiness does not begin at the
altar; it begins during the period of youth and courtship. …”Young people, choose prayerfully and carefully. Don’t rush hastily into
marriage. Determine that you have common goals and interests. Especially be certain that you possess the same religious convictions
and beliefs. David O McKay
Marriage
A happy and successful marriage will be one that is built on the
important principle of love; a love recognizing not only a fleeting physical attraction, but more
importantly a deeply spiritual love that will continue forever
love is the divinest attribute of the human soul. … love must be fed; … Love must be nourished; love can be starved to death just as literally as the body can be starved without daily sustenance. … If that love is fed daily and monthly and yearly throughout a lifetime, the husband’s attention will not be drawn to somebody else. …” Boyd K. Packer
