Gordon B. Hinckley, "Life's Obligations," Ensign, February 1999, accessed on May 11, 2022
There is no substitute for marrying in the temple. It is the only place under the heavens where marriage can be solemnized for eternity. Don’t cheat yourself. Don’t cheat your companion. Don’t shortchange your lives. Marry the right person in the right place at the right time.
Choose a companion of your own faith. You are much more likely to be happy.
