Answer 23

Scott: “If you are a young man of appropriate age and are not married, don’t waste time in idle pursuits. “Get on with life and focus on getting married. Don’t just coast through this period of life. “Young men, serve a worthy mission. Then make your highest priority finding a worthy, eternal companion. " Monson: “We are not doing our duty as holders of the priesthood when we go beyond the marriageable age and withhold ourselves from an honorable marriage to these lovely women. ...If you are concerned about providing financially for a wife and family, may I assure you that there is no shame in a couple having to scrimp and save. ..."

Answer 24

Scott: "look for someone who is developing the essential attributes that bring happiness: a deep love of the Lord and of His commandments, a determination to live them, one that is kindly understanding, forgiving of others, and willing to give of self, with the desire to have a family crowned with beautiful children and a commitment to teach them the principles of truth in the home” “An essential priority of a prospective wife is the desire to be a wife and mother. She should be developing the sacred qualities that God has given His daughters to excel as a wife and mother: patience, kindliness, a love of children, and a desire to care for them rather than seeking professional pursuits. She should be acquiring a good education to prepare for the demands of motherhood. “A prospective husband should also honor his priesthood and use it in service to others. Seek a man who accepts his role as provider of the necessities of life, has the capacity to do it, and is making concerted efforts to prepare himself to fulfill those responsibilities. Holland: "...but surely among the very first and most basic of those qualities will be those of care and sensitivity towards others, a minimum of self-centeredness that allows compassion and courtesy to be evident. ‘That best portion of a good man’s life [is] his . . . kindness,’ said Mr. William Wordsworth… such qualities as thoughtfulness, patience, a kind word, and true delight in the accomplishment of another.

Answer 39

Their bodies are different and their minds are different. Men are different from the very composition of their blood to the way their brains develop, which means that they think and experience life differently from women... Men: Women have a greater constitutional vitality Females outlive males 4-8 years in the USA. Women have a lower metabolism than men. Women differ in skeletal structure. Women have larger stomachs, kidneys, livers, and appendixes than men. Women have smaller lungs than men do. Women have more emotional swings because of menstruation, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause. Women generally have larger active thyroid glands than men, which makes them more resistant to colds and more prone to goiter. Because of this, they also have smoother skin and a relatively hairless body. The thyroid gland also produces a layer of subcutaneous fat, which contributes to important elements in personal beauty. A larger thyroid also makes many women less emotionally stable, causing them to laugh and cry more easily than men. Women have blood with more water and fewer (20 percent) red blood cells. Consequently, they often tire more easily and are more prone to faint. Women generally have hearts that beat more rapidly and have lower blood pressure, at least until after menopause. (80 beats per minute for women; 72 beats per minute for men) Woman can generally stand, prefer, or are more comfortable in higher temperatures than are men. On the average, man possess 50 percent more brute strength than women (40 percent of man’s weight is muscle, contrasted with 23 percent of a woman’s body).

Answer 40

“Women are left-hemisphere [brain] oriented, more verbally adroit. The left hemisphere develops earlier, which gives them an edge in reading and writing... The female brain is not specialized. Right and left hemisphere work together on a problem. This is possible because in the female brain left-hemisphere abilities are duplicated to some extent in the right hemisphere and right-hemisphere abilities in the left... “The ability to zero in on a problem with both hemispheres makes women much more perceptive about people “Men use the right hemisphere more efficiently than women do. The converse is not true, however. Women do not use the left brain more efficiently than men. The male brain is specialized. Men use the right hemisphere when dealing with spatial problems and the left for verbal problems...

Answer 41

Serotonin: It’s purpose is to pacify or soothe the emotions and to help individuals control their impulsive behavior....Rats with low levels of serotonin tended to be more aggressive and violent. “If testosterone is the gasoline the powers the brain, serotonin slows the speed and helps one steer. And... you guessed it. Females typically have more of it than males” (James Dobson, Bringing Up Boys [Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers, 2001], 25).

Answer 42

Woman is an emotional feeler; man is a logical thinker. For a women, language spoken is an expression of what she feels; for a man, language spoken is an expression of what he is thinking. Language that is heard by a woman is an emotional experience; language that is heard by a man is the receiving of information. Women tend to take everything personally; men tend to take things impersonally. Women are interested in all of the nitty-gritty details; men are interested in the principles, the abstract, and the philosophy. Women have a great need for security and roots; men can be nomadic. Women tend to be guilt prone; men tend to be resentful.

Answer 45

Men, by nature, are problems solvers. That is part of their DNA. They like to fix things that are broken They also like to solve a wide range of problems They seem to have a solution for everything Women, on the other hand, like to share their problems with those closest to them. “Remember, women love conversation; they like to share problems because they love to communicate, but they are not always looking for answers. “They enjoy the catharsis that occurs during the sharing. Sharing their problems is just a way to connect with another person” (Ogletree & Brinley, Then Comes Marriage [Covenant: American Fork, UT., 2005], 54). Remember, women connect by talking; men connect by doing!

Answer 46

Women tend to be more responsive to their children, while men tend to be firm. Women emphasize emotional security in relationships, while men accentuate competition and risk taking” (Then Comes Marriage, 57). “By nature, men tend to emphasize play, while women are more prone to caretaking. Men are rough-and-tumble in their approach with their children, while women are more nurturing…

Answer 47

“No two people are alike, and often, disagreements are the result. “Did you hear about the wife who criticized her husband for the way he ate grapefruit – he peeled it like an orange. In her mind, only derelicts would eat grapefruit like that. “She was worried that she would have to spend eternity next to a guy who ate grapefruit like oranges” (Joe Christensen, One Step At A Time [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1996], 25).

Answer 48

“Consider again the basic tendencies of maleness and femaleness. “Because it is the privilege and blessing of women to bear children, they are inclined toward predictability, stability, security, caution, and steadiness. “Most of them value friendships and family above accomplishments and opportunities…. “The female temperament lends itself to nurturance, caring, sensitivity, tenderness, and compassion. “Those are the precise characteristics needed by their children during the developmental years. Without the softness of femininity, the world would be a more cold, legalistic, and militaristic place. “Men, on the other hand, have been designed for a different role. “They value change, opportunity, risk, speculation, and adventure. They are designed to provide for their families physically and to protect them from harm and danger... “This is a divine assignment. Men are also ordained in Scripture for leadership in their homes, to be expressed within the framework of servanthood. “Men are often (but not always) less emotional in a crisis and more confident when challenged. “A world without men would be more static and uninteresting. “When my father died, Mom said with a tear in her eye, ‘He brought so much excitement into my life.’ That characteristic is often attractive to women” (James Dobson, Bringing Up Boys [Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers, 2001], 27).

Answer 49

“Our Father made men and women dependent on each other for the full-flowering of their potential. “Because their natures are somewhat different, they can compliment each other; because they are in many ways alike, they can understand each other. “Let neither envy the other for their differences; let both discern what is superficial and what is beautifully basic in those differences, and act accordingly” (President Spencer W. Kimball, Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball, [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1982], 315).

Answer 50

“Please note that it does not say “compete with each other” but “complete each other”! We are here to help, lift, and rejoice with each other as we try to become our very best selves. “Sister Barbara B. Smith wisely taught, “There is so much more of happiness to be had when we can rejoice in another’s successes and not just in our own.” When we seek to “complete” rather than “compete,” it is so much easier to cheer each other on”

Answer 63

President David O. McKay shared an experience he had while a college student. He was walking from the campus with his friend, George Q. Morris. As they were walking they began to talk about girls and how they would know when they were in love. “Brother George answered this on the subject, ‘I don’t know, but my mother once told us boys we should choose the girl who inspires us to do our best, in whose presence we feel a desire to achieve and to make the most of ourselves’” (David O. McKay, (ed. L.R. McKay), My Young Friends: President McKay Speaks to Youth [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1976], 48).

Answer 64

“True love of man and woman always include love of God [and] the proof of our love of God is obedience to His law” (John A. Widtsoe, Evidences and Reconciliations, 297). “Love is founded in truth [and honesty]….Lies and deceit, or any other violation of the moral law, are proofs of love’s absence” (John A. Widtsoe, Evidences and Reconciliations, 297). “Love does not [intentionally] offend or hurt or injure the loved one” (John A. Widtsoe, Evidences and Reconciliations, 297). “Love is a positive active force. It [serves and] helps the loved one. If there is a need, loves tries to supply it. If there is a weakness, loves supplants it with strength” (John A. Widtsoe, Evidences and Reconciliations, 297). “As good as these tests are, there is a greater one. True love sacrifices for the loved one… That is the final test” (John A. Widtsoe, An Understandable Religion, 72).

Answer 65

Kimball: In selecting a companion for life and for eternity, certainly the most careful planning and thinking and praying and fasting should be done to be sure that of all the decisions, this one must not be wrong...“In true marriage there must be a union of minds as well as of hearts. “Emotions must not wholly determine decisions, but the mind and the heart, strengthened by fasting and prayer and serious consideration, will give one a maximum chance of marital happiness”( HInckley: “No other decision will have such tremendous consequences for the future. Look to the establishment of a home in which there will be peace and happiness and love"

Answer 71

“Similarities are like money in the bank, and differences are like debts. . . If you want to make a marriage work with someone who is very different from you, you had better have a large number of similarities as permanent equity in your account...

Tingey: “For some, [marriage and family] would appear impossible to obtain. But please have faith, and join that faith with works."

I realize that not all will have the opportunity to marry in this life, but, with faith and courage, most will. "

Answer 81

The decision to get married is made too quickly | ???

Answer 82

“If a revelation is outside the limits of stewardship, you know it is not from the Lord, and you are not bound by it."

Answer 83

“I have had to learn that in most big decisions, what is most important is to do the right thing. Second, and only slightly behind the first, is to do the right thing at the right time. If we do the right thing at the wrong time, we can be frustrated and ineffective. We can even be confused about whether we have made the right choice when what was wrong was not our choice but our timing."

Answer 84

“A more perfect thing to have done would have been to counsel with him relative to the decision and get a spiritual confirmation that the conclusion, which I by my agency and faculties had arrived at, was the right one” “Use both agency and prayer. “It is not, never had been, and never will be the design and purpose of the Lord—however much we seek him in prayer—to answer all our problems and concerns without struggle and effort on our part."

Answer 85

all at once. It will come a piece at a time, in packets, so that you will grow in capacity.

Answer 86

“line upon line, precept upon precept,” or, in other words, many small answers over a period of time. “May I simply suggest that what we initially believe is “the” answer may be but one part of a “line upon line, precept upon precept,” ongoing, incremental, and unfolding pattern of small answers. "

Answer 87

However, the Spirit usually works quietly, calmly, gently, and peacefully. Prepare yourself therefore, for quiet, sure, answers. Prepare yourself for logical answers too. Often, the confirmation comes as we begin to understand that is was the Spirit of the Lord that caused you to meet each other initially; it was the Spirit that caused your heart to skip a beat each time you saw each other; it was the Spirit of the Lord that caused your dreams and aspirations to flow together; and that has allowed things to come together for you two.

Answer 88

After the spiritual confirmation.... "Of course our faith will be tested as we fight through these self-doubts and second thoughts. Some days we will be miraculously led out of Egypt—seemingly free, seemingly on our way—only to come to yet another confrontation, like all that water lying before us. At those times we must resist the temptation to panic and give up. At those times fear will be the strongest of the adversary’s weapons against us."

Answer 89

“Now, I tell you that you can make every decision in your life correctly if you can learn to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit…. “Study your problems and prayerfully make a decision. “Then take that decision and say to him, in a simple, honest supplication, ‘Father, I want to make the right decision. I want to do the right thing. This is what I think I should do: let me know if it is the right course.’ “Doing this, you can get the burning in your bosom, if your decision is right. “If you do not get the burning, then change your decision and submit a new one. When you learn to walk by the Spirit, you never need to make a mistake” (Elder Marion G. Romney, CR, October 1961, 60-61).

Answer 90

1. study things out 2. Go to Heavenly Father in prayer, seek confirmation or approval of our conclusion 3. If our conclusion or decision is right, the Lord will confirm it with a feeling. 4. If our conclusion or decision is wrong, we will have a stupor of thought.

Answer 91

ask for it!

Answer 92

First, be sure you are ready and willing to accept and act upon the answer the Lord gives. Second, don’t make the mistake of believing that once a confirmation comes, everything should fall neatly into place or come together effortlessly. Third, understand that confirmations generally come as a process, rather than an event. In other words, there are usually many confirming moments and feelings along the way, rather than one single, dramatic AMEN experience.

Answer 93

“A word of caution: Recognize that an individual who is violating commandments of the Lord will find it very difficult to discern a prompting of the Spirit from the powerful emotions that can be stimulated through transgression."

Answer 94

....give us confidence ...to prevent error ...it is to have us grow through faith in him, obedience to the commandments, and a willingness to act on truth."

Answer 95

forget the thing which is wrong turning away from or a letting go of something that is wrong inaction, apathy, or lethargy

Answer 96

Elder Bednar once said a mission would be a blessing to anyone. But not all people would be a blessing to a mission. It seems that would likely be true of marriage, as well. You might be a blessing to many people, but some of those people might not be a blessing to you.

Answer 117

“The more righteous and upright, pure and undefiled, the Latter-day Saints become, the less power will Satan have over them, for in proportion to your unity and uprightness, honesty, and fidelity to the cause in which you are engaged, in such proportion will the power of the adversary be weakened, and those who are seeking to entice your sons and daughters into haunts of shame, and dens of wickedness, that they might be defiled, corrupted, wicked and like the rest of them will have less power over you, if you will watch your children better, and live better lives yourselves” (Joseph F. Smith, CR, October 1911, 11).
