At least four things are needed for the success of the divine plan:
     1.  The Creation.
     2.  The Fall.
     3.  The Atonement.
     4.  Physical birth and Spiritual rebirth.

Thee Lift Me and I’ll Lift Thee, and We’ll Ascend Together


I am convinced that a husband is never more attractive to his wife than 
when he is serving in his God-given roles as a worthy priesthood holder
—most important in the home.

We might test ourselves by asking a few questions. With a little adaptation, these questions can apply to most of us, whether we are married or single, whatever our home situation might be.
  1. 1. 
    When was the last time I sincerely praised my companion, either alone or in the presence of our children?
  2. 2. 
    When was the last time I thanked, expressed love for, or earnestly pleaded in faith for him or her in prayer?
  3. 3. 
    When was the last time I stopped myself from saying something I knew could be hurtful?
  4. 4. 
    When was the last time I apologized and humbly asked for forgiveness—without adding the words “but if only you had” or “but if only you hadn’t”?
  5. 5. 
    When was the last time I chose to be happy rather than demanding to be “right”?

The Plan of Happiness

Nowhere is the generosity and mercy of God 
more manifest than in repentance.

"I am so grateful for the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the power of procreation, for the power of redemption, for the Atonement—the Atonement which can wash clean every stain no matter how difficult or how long or how many times repeated. The Atonement can put you free again to move forward, cleanly and worthily, to pursue that path that you have chosen in life."
--Boyd K. Packer
