"The Family is of God": TEMPLES

Marriage in the temple is one of the greatest blessing on this earth today. An eternal marriage is a wonderful, comforting, and amazing feeling. A feeling that you can only receive from being sealed in an LDS temple.
Although a temple marriage is my most memorable time in the temple, there are many blessings and special moments we can have and receive from and inside these temples.

President Ezra Taft Benson once said; “When you attend the temple and perform the ordinances that pertain to the House of the Lord, certain blessings will come to you:

• You will receive the spirit of Elijah, which will turn your hearts to your spouse, to your children, and to your forebears.
• You will love your family with a deeper love than you have loved before.

• Your hearts will be turned to your fathers and theirs to you.

• You will be endowed with power from on high as the Lord has promised.

• You will receive the key of the knowledge of God. (See D&C 84:19.) You will learn how you can be like Him. Even the power of godliness will be manifest to you. (See D&C 84:20.)

• You will be doing a great service to those who have passed to the other side of the veil in order that they might be “judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” (D&C 138:34.)
Such are the blessings of the temple and the blessings of frequently attending the temple.”

I believe that these blessings are true and that they can be fulfilled when we put in our part.

Through temple marriage we can fulfill an essential piece of Heavenly Father’s plan for us on this earth. Temple marriage is a commandment and an undeniable part of the plan of salvation. Men and Women are complementary to each other and as such are meant to get married and create families in this life.

In the Bible we learn that it is not good for man to be alone, and vice versa.
