How Will I Know?: Making the Marriage Decision

by S. Michael Wilcox

One of the most compelling questions for many young people is "When should I marry?" In this helpful talk, given in front of a live audience, Michael Wilcox explores what can be a puzzling concern. In doing so, he suggests what a young man or woman can do to become more "marriageable." And he gives his "10 Suggestions" regarding the sometimes unrealistic expectations we have as we search for an eternal partner. Filled with candid confessions about his own often humorous experiences in dating and courtship and enlivened by practical illustrations from the scriptures, literature, and Church leaders, and other authorities, this talk will answer many of your concerns about making the marriage decision and help you go forward in what is arguably the most far-reaching choice you'll eve make. This engaging presentation will be helpful not only to those searching for Mr. or Miss Right but also to those who are already married and wish to strengthen their relationship.

I went through my college years knowing Bro. Wilcox was a great one in his talks and lessons and such on marriage. So I thought I would enjoy this talk on CD. And I very much did. I liked some of the scriptural examples he used. I loved the points he made. His words were encouraging and enlightening, too. It is a good talk to have to help me better prepare for marriage and become the kind of person that I would want to marry.

Reminder to become what you are looking for this takes time and work but is worth it. Who we are pulls in different people.

Back in 2005 when I was engaged a friend gave me this CD to listen to. It's rather funny. :)
