Gordon B. Hinckley:
A happy marriage is not so much a matter of
romance as it is an anxious concern for the
comfort and well-being of one’s companion
(Ensign, May 1991).
Marriage, in its truest sense, is a partnership of
equals, with neither exercising dominion over the
other, but, rather, with each encouraging and
assisting the other in whatever responsibilities
and aspirations he or she might have (Ensign, Aug.
1992, 6)
Spencer W. Kimball:
“Soul mates” are fiction and an illusion; and
while every young man and young woman will seek
with all diligence and prayerfulness to find a
mate with whom life can be most compatible and
beautiful, yet it is certain that almost any good
man and any good woman can have happiness and a
successful marriage if both are willing to pay the
price (Devotional address given at Brigham Young
University on September 7, 1976, found at
http://speeches.byu.edu/ ).
