I bought the cow, only to learn that the milk was gone, stolen by thieves who came before me. And now there is little or none left for me, though I paid for it.
If the Church isn't already making this point (discretely, of course) with the youth, I strongly hope it will start.

If YOU have emotional scars because your wife isn't perfect, you seriously need a reality check. Nobody's perfect, everybody makes mistakes and if you can't forgive your wife for hers - or her ex's for theirs - IMO you're going to have a hard time reaching exhaltation.
And yes, the church does and has always made this point with the youth. But the very young do not always do what they're told. And that, my friend, is where the Atonement comes in.
