OBJECTIVE:

Each young woman will understand that temple marriage is necessary for eternal family life.

PREPARATION:

  1. Picture 8, A Bride and Groom, located at the end of the manual.
  2. Assign young women to present any stories, scriptures, or quotations you wish.
  3. If it is available in your area, prepare to show "In This Holy Place," on the videocassette Come unto Me (53146). If the video is shown, you may want to take two weeks giving this lesson.

LESSON:

CONCLUSION:

Read the following statement from Elder Boyd K. Packer:

"I picture you coming to the temple to be sealed for time and for all eternity. I yearn to talk to you about the sacred sealing ordinance, but this we do not do outside those sacred walls. The transcendent nature of all that is conferred upon us at the marriage altar is so marvelous it is worth all the waiting and all the resisting.

"But this is not the fulfillment of the story of love. In the book, or the play, on the stage, the curtain comes down here. But it is not so in real love. This is not the conclusion—only the beginning" (Eternal Love [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1973], p. 20).

HANDOUT:

Make a copy of the handout for each of your young women by copying it off onto a pretty white paper and attaching it to a picture of the temple. Put some gold or silver glitter glue around the outside of the border to add some pazazz.
