Marriage
When a man and woman are married in a temple, their family can be together forever. This is a common goal of Latter-day Saints. However, this is not always possible. One of the marriage partners may not be a member of the Church or may not be prepared to go to the temple. Some people never have the opportunity to marry.
Church members who have been divorced, who have never married, or who have been married outside the temple can participate in the ordinances of the gospel and enjoy opportunities for Church service.
The knowledge that a family can be together forever helps strengthen families—not only those who have been bound together through temple ordinances, but also those who hope to realize that blessing in the future.
