Here is a letter, written by one of the elders in the congregation I’m a member of, written to a couple who were preparing to be married:

I will post only his closing paragraph and hope you read what comes before it:

Marriage is an opportunity in which a man and a woman can learn how to love each other, and their in-laws, and their children, and an ever-increasing circle of friends and neighbors and relatives. Real love grows in height and breadth and depth until it transcends all human distinctions. Therefore, the reality you can build from this beginning is not limited to yourselves alone; and as you know, it is not limited to this world. The reality you can build together is the kind of love that is both the will and the very nature of God.
