GENESIS 2:2
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh”
I don’t think I would have given heed to these verse earlier until I was given council by my Branch president during my marriage preparation. I understood much deeper meaning as I was sealed to my husband for time and eternity in the temple covenants. I testify of the gospel teaching and knowledge we had gained so far which helped my husband and I to be one in heart and mind.
The reason I share this scripture is because when we got married we had a lot of families being involved in making decision for us rather we making it. As a result, it led us to have arguments, disagreements, quarrel, disappointment and selfishness. We were thankful to be able to reflect onto the atonement of our savior and make goals and plan things well in our marriage. I believe the oneness in marriage came as we could turn to our savior for all the things he has given us his church, his gospel, his life, his teaching so we can be one.
I believe as we all can be covenant keeper as we keep his covenants. First by taking his name upon us and second, by remembering him and third, all this can happen as we partake of the sacrament every week and do keep his commandments. What I have shared is very basic but is actually the necessity of our life that leads us to be one and have eternal life.
