Instead of dismissing one another’s concerns, acknowledge them and let your spouse know that what they feel is alright and that they can always trust in the Lord. This doctrine is consistent with the Bible, but it is not drawn from it. Lehi agrees, validating Sariah’s concern, and then he proceeds to comfort her and assure her that their sons will come back safely. There is no Biblical obstacle to the doctrine of eternal marriage. Lehi validates Sariah’s concern that by being a visionary man, he led them away from their home and has put their sons into danger. This dialogue between Sariah and Lehi showcases an important piece of marriage advice: validation. A revelation in the Doctrine and Covenants states: Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else. Translation: Validate your spouse’s concerns. And after this manner of language did my father, Lehi, comfort my mother, Sariah, concerning us…” Hales and his wife, Mary, have done and follow the proverb ‘Thee lift me and I’ll lift thee, and we’ll ascend together.’”ġ Nephi 5:4-6-“And it had come to pass that my father spake unto her, saying: I know that I am a visionary man for if I had not seen the things of God in a vision I should not have known the goodness of God, but had tarried at Jerusalem, and had perished with my brethren… and I know that the Lord will deliver my sons out of the hands of Laban, and bring them down again unto us in the wilderness. And we need to work together to lift the rising generation and help them reach their divine potential as heirs of eternal life. Burton said in her April 2015 conference talk, “Brothers and sisters, we need each other! As covenant-keeping women and men, we need to lift each other and help each other become the people the Lord would have us become. Don’t forget that the Lord is the one doing the exalting.
We need both genders to be fully exalted on high.
It’s between the two of you and the Lord. Never forget that a marriage isn’t just between you and your spouse.
Translation: We need men and women working together.
