Families
A distinctive teaching of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that marriage between a man and a woman can last forever. Marriages performed in the Church’s temples do not end with death. Rather, marriage and family relationships are “sealed” by priesthood authority (Matthew 16:19) and can continue through eternity, if the couple is faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ.In 1995, God’s living prophet and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles emphasized the importance of marriage and family in a declaration entitled “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” We invite you to read it.
