From the beginning the Lord declared that “it [was] not good that the man [or woman] should be alone.”6 Being alone is an antonym of family and is contrary to God’s plan of happiness.
“Having an eternal family is the only way to achieve ultimate joy.”

“Clearly neither Adam nor Eve could be without the other and still experience joy and fulfillment. In addition to the physical and emotional companionship found between husband and wife, a third kind of companionship is vital for two hearts to be knit together in everlasting love and to achieve a fullness of joy. President Henry B. Eyring taught, “It is only with the companionship of the Holy Ghost that we can hope to be equally yoked in a marriage free from discord. I have seen how that companionship is crucial for felicity in a marriage. The miracle of becoming one requires the help of heaven.”

“The garden was Adam’s house, but Eve was his home and his companion in achieving his true purpose. Earth’s first love story is not only its most famous but also its most tender and inspiring. It is a story about the use of agency, love, companionship, and the making of a home.”

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
