West celebrates love between men and women.
Roy A. West, "Marriage and the Latter-day Saint Family," Improvement Era, July 1947, 456
We modify the style of our houses, make our wearing apparel more attractive, increase our speed of travel, prolong life, reduce the ravages of disease, and modernize most of our physical conveniences; but we cannot change that human longing of love between a man and a woman. Through the centuries of man's existence almost all things have been changed, but the human emotion of love in men and women continues to seek an expression of lasting endurance. Sorrow, distress, bewilderment, and even a loss of worth-whileness of life comes to him who experiences failure in holding the love of the one whom he cherishes most dearly. Those who find complete realization in the love of an esteemed person make a discovery of new-found happiness and exultation that excels human expression.
