BYU Marriage Prep Class
Posted On: 01/12/2008 20:21:46
I was asked by my marriage prep professor at BYU to write about what we've been learning in class. So far, since it's only been the first week of class for the semester, a lot of what we've been doing has been organizational. But we have talked a little about marriage. I wrote down one quote that I thought was interesting. I don't remember who it was from but it said, "Everthing we have in the whole gospel system is to prepare and qualify us to enter that holy order of matrimony which makes us husband and wife in this life and in the world to come . . . there is nothing in this world as important as the creation and perfection of family units" There were two parts of this quote that caught my attention. The first part is that everything in the gospel points us to entering into holy matrimony. There are so many faucets of the gospel and so I think it's interesting that marriage is so important that it is named as our focus. The second part that I gave some thought to is that it's not all just about the creation of a family unit, but it is equally, or maybe more important, to perfect that unit. I don't know exactly at what point you would be able to say that your family is perfect; in fact I don't think that it's possible. But I think we can always be working and improving the way our families interact and function.
