I needed to hear this and I was in tears when I heard it because it is so painful to be a part of a union that doesn't show effort in walking in the Lord's path. Thank you for your testimony and revelation and a reminder to continue to be a faithful covenant keeper.
Thank you for sharing this message as it is very personal for me to hear this. I regularly cross the border from Tijuana to San Diego and Elder Bednars passport control analogy resinates with me. I personally have strong opinions on the USA immigration system as it should NOT take 25.5 months for USCIS to give a spouse visa. This is why I moved to Tijuana to make an easier path to be with my Filipina wife. I am also my 3rd marriage and was previously sealed in the temple which I am in the process of trying to obtain a sealing clearance. I was badly hurt and felt abandoned from my previous two marriages, one a member and the other not a member. Marriage is a sacred covenant that is a serious matter and you don't walk out on your spouse. This message is something that I feel very personal about hearing because a lot of things resinate in this message and The Holy Ghost regularly has ways to manifest The Spirit on to people in various ways that resinate with different people based on who they are. Great talk. Thank you for sharing.
I was waiting for answers about this. The number of people with questions on this is enormous. This along with another talk by President Oaks provides a wider perspective. Thank you
So pretty much one person remains faithful to the temple covenants and will have those blessings after this life but the one who falls away will not. Meaning the family you have in this life will not be the family you have after this life.
I do not know is so hard to say for a religious leader... I dont believe mormon theology, i dont like mormon system... but i am glad to hear those words...
