I can witness to those same truths. My relationship with my husband means so much to me. As we've followed these principles in building our family up with faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreation, we have been able to overcome many trials as a family and grow close and strong.
"The feeling came over me that she was the best person that I had ever seen... If I could only be with her, I could become every good thing I ever wanted to be." Wow... So powerful. He speaks of his spouse so lovingly and tenderly. This inspires me to seek after a companion who has this same effect on me, and ultimately to become (with God's help) the type of person who has this effect on my companion. I recognize that I've been quick to settle... God has greatness in store for those who desire his most virtuous gifts, including a wholesome and uplifting marriage.
Incredible and emotional talk offered by President Eyring! I feel forever privileged to have the understanding of the importance of the family and to have a wonderful wife in this life and that to come. :)
Un Apóstol verdadero del Señor hablando con la sinceridad de la verdad; con la fortaleza de la eternidad y la serenidad que el Espíritu da... Feliz de este día!!
"We must find ways to lead people to a faith that they can replace their natural self-interest with deep and lasting feelings of charity and benevolence. With that change, and only then, will people be able to make the hourly unselfish sacrifices necessary for a happy marriage and family life-and to do it with a smile." Great words from #LDS leader at #Vatican #Humanum conference on the #Family.
It has been a Great opportunity to share THE full potential al OF THE Gospel put into practice every day life the true change OF heart that a newborn in Christ should esperiment in his life. The family is paramount in this process. Beautifully spoken, beautifully espressed, with an apostolic blessing and promise. I got the vision. My whole soul scrives in the attempt to share this believes with all my brothers and sister in the world.
I feel very blessed for watching President Eyring talking about Marriage and the complementary between man and woman, and my heart expand as the firmament, to see an apostle and prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ talking in Rome, to many leaders, just as in the old times
Great words about family and the marriage ! I'm mormon and i believe that families can be together forever and that the marriage is a blessing to people's life
So inspired by President Eyring's message. The spirit is so strong during his talk. Evidence that he is a true witness of God. I love him and love having the gospel in my life. Members of the church in the Philippines are proud of you president Eyring.
Impresionante declaración, emotivas y sinceras palabras, histórico acontecimiento en esta época, y el Pdte. Eyring en representación de toda nuestra Iglesia elevando su voz, dejando muy clara nuestra posición y comisión excelente discurso, me encantó.
Great speech, great speaker, great example. People that believe in what he sayed will ultimately reap similar results. I am grateful to know of these teachings and have found these similar results for my family. I know of nothing more gratifying than my own family.
If this knowledge is what brings me so much happiness despite life's circumstances, I decided that I will not take unbelief, it is not mandatory to have joy in life.
this is a remarkable speech reminding us the importance of Marriage and family. despite how the modern world strives to redefine Marriage it is clear it's complete happiness can only be found within that of a man & a woman.
SO AMAZING! Is the Godly doctrine of the family not clear? I can't even begin to tell you the blessings I've received and seen others receive by adherence to the familial principles as explained by President Henry B. Eyring in this address. I know that EVERY family can experience the same blessings that I have if they, too, will adhere to these principles. Society as a whole will experience peace, individuals will be prosperous and happy, and one day, we will all live together as a human family with our Father.
so simple, so true. President Eyring is right, selfishness is what deepens the differences and harbors the greatests dissasters of humanity. Thank you for such inspirational remarks.
La evidencia que el dio es de tipo PERSONAL, el esta hablando de algo q el vive, no de algo vivido por otro, el tiene una esposa, el tiene hijos, el tiene una familia. Nadie puede hablar ni enseñar ni liderar, si no vivio lo q esta enseñando! ...el que lee entienda... exelente discurso.
... and then rejecting... Unfortunately it leaves no room for my gay children or siblings to be respected. The Mormons presume to over-throw this hard-won civil right and then call it "good." The amazing thing is that the Mormon Church - of all anybody - presumes to be an authority on righteous marriage when only a hundred years ago they practiced polygamy in violation of the law, and their founder married between what was it... 30 or 40 women? Two age fourteen? It's too precious.
***** Dave, I think many here might find your comments presumptuous if you think that believing gay sex is morally wrong precludes respect. Mormons believe that everyone's a sinner and should all help each other, and most members I know practice that with gay family, friends, and colleagues. We can agree to disagree about our perception of God's feelings on the issue. I personally believe that God is not opposed to his children legally discouraging any given sin, but is equally disappointed when they do something wrong, legal or otherwise. The challenge for each person is to discern when they are offended because something is incorrect and when they are offended because they need to repent. Surely, an abundance of mercy will be meted out to all of us over such challenging issues.
Cameron Nielsen : You said "I think many here might find your comments presumptuous if you think that believing gay sex is morally wrong precludes respect." I reply: No presumption required. It is proven that this attitude creates stigma. It is known this stigma has negative outcomes for LGBTQAI persons. Here is the science: www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/Documents/LGBTQ_Population_Report.pdf Are you offended because I told you something true? How will you now repent?
***** And your laws were ment to change God's mind then. It is not like you believe families even stay together after death so what do you care? And in the Eighteen hundreds you it was normal to marry your first cousin. It you look at history and compare it to our context that makes you an imbecile. What did they even teach you in college?
***** Believing homosexuality is morally wrong shouldn't harm gays yet you are so riled up about it. Plus Mormons think coffee, sex outside of marriage, smoking, drugs, drinking, and porn are morally wrong yet you don't see smokers, drinkers, college students, addicts, and porn-stars getting angry about them protecting their children from their behavior. And TL;DR.

Benjamin Sisk problem is, Samuel and Lehi are fictional characters so of course they didn't join forces with anyone. I will speak evil of what you call the Lords anointed when they are due for it. They're about as anointed as anyone else is, so they aren't exempt from criticism or fault and in a position of leadership they are even more subject to it. If you want to know who rules over you, just ask yourself who you're not allowed to criticize.
Eric Waldron Yes, I'm sure you believe that, but you can't know it. If I told you I know that Santa Claus lives and I know that he will visit me this year, you would think "oh, you poor delusional person. An adult that believes in Santa. How cute. But what a whacko." I feel the same way about your unfounded beliefs. Nearly everyone outside the .05% of the world who are fully active mormons know this as well. Only those who are gullible and malleable enough to your marketing materials will ever see otherwise.
Eric Waldron Only six years? Good. There's hope for you yet to find out the truth about your church that they don't want you to find and not be so indoctrinated that you won't accept it.

Into how many eye sockets did "Apostle" Henry B. Eyring jam his thumb? He presents himself as one of the Twelve Apostles - yet he is also married with children. Catholics are amused? He presents the Mormon "A Proclamation on the Family" and yet pretends gay people have no rights to their own children or marriages? I'd like to see the Mormon Church actually stand for humanity - instead of tearing down the modicum of happiness gained recently for LGBT persons. Their behavior in this regard seems so unchristlike. Because Jesus had this to say about homosexuality: " [this page left intentionally blank] ".
Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26-27. And where in the bible does it say the Apostles were never married? Or when they got a divorce? And last I checked, there are married Priests in the catholic church being very vocal about that particular practice of not marrying. And by the way, I thought we called them gay? They changed the name again? Can't we just stick with one name?
Miss DJ7223: It is "Miss", right? I'm referring to the hubris of the itsy bitsy Utah Mormon sect with their outrageous history of sexual infidelity presuming present an "Apostle" to lecture the Catholic Pope and his Cardinals about said "Apostle's" marriage. It cuts a lovely picture.
***** You never answered my questions. And yes, we had polygamy. We stopped that. I don't see how that has to do with anything. And all he did was talk about the blessing of his marriage, and how he believes marriage is a great blessing. And I'll give you my solemn testimony that I know he is an Apostle of God. I have read through the history, anti-mormon stuff included, and I still won't be swayed. Be it what it may. And fyi: It's Mister! Well, God bless. I'm done.

***** The point of this summit I believe was to show the wonderful blessings of marriage. And I think he did that. And American upstarts, huh? We believe God needed to restore his Church, and so what better place than America, where it is totally legal to believe whatever you want. And America was built upon the standards of God in the Bible, which we believe is God's word. Also, I've heard gays refer to themselves in so many different forms, that it leaves me unsure which is right. And when did I ever indicate my gender? You saw my pic, and I'm pretty sure it's clear I'm a dude. You are just a rude, self righteous, "sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. Farewell" (Toy Story).

As we've followed these principles in building our family up with faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreation, we have been able to overcome many trials as a family and grow close and strong.
whenever Pres. Eyring talks, he gives me chills. I sooo love our apostle. Thank you for this wonderful marriage, President Eyring.

So grateful for "The Family: A Proclamation to the World". What a great example of prophetic insight and direction.
If you think the proclamation was good you should hear it in context with the rest of the relief society talk in which it was given.
I feel very blessed for watching President Eyring talking about Marriage and the complementary between man and woman, and my heart expand as the firmament, to see an apostle and prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ talking in Rome, to many leaders, just as in the old times
Excellent!!! Proud of you President Eyring! Sure is weird to hear clapping after "amen". :-)
This is a very inspiring Message to the world. Mormons respect all other faiths..............
Great words about family and the marriage ! I'm mormon and i believe that families can be together forever and that the marriage is a blessing to people's life

Thank you Pres Eyring, absolutely loved your talk!!!
A testimony and witness from an Apostle. There is no doubt to the precious and beautiful design by God of the Family unit.
Pure sincere authentic testimony of true principles guaranteed to increase and secure happiness in marriage.
Beautifully said. I truly believe in his words and know that this will lead to happiness.
que bello es ser testigo de esto en carne propia, gracias por esta oportunidad de ser mejor y menos egoista cada dia, te amo ivonne
No hay mejor testimonio sobre el matrimonio que el propio ejemplo. Gracias Presidente Eyring.
A true and living Apostle of Christ.
I loved this talk. It was beautiful!!!
If this knowledge is what brings me so much happiness despite life's circumstances, I decided that I will not take unbelief, it is not mandatory to have joy in life.
Such a sweet man of God. I admire the love he has for his wife!
es grandioso ver a un testigo especial de Cristo testificando del matrimonio y las familias en el vaticano, muy bie hecho presidente Eyring!

Poco a poco, las cosas deben ponerse en su lugar, gracias Pte. Eyring!!
I witness that what President Eyring is preaching is correct and a principle of God. Family is ordained of God.

This is a historic moment for the church. It could become a historic moment for the Catholic Church as well.
Que les puedo decir, ha sido un mensaje maravilloso!!
I bear my witness too of the truth of President Eyring's address. I have been blessed beyond my dreams by being married to my eternal companion.
God Bless President Eyring
Que Dios bendiga Presidente Eyring
Following President Eyring's remarks the entire congregation was baptized as members of The Church of Jesus Christ.

So sad that we've joined forces with the great and abominable church.
Benjamin Sisk problem is, Samuel and Lehi are fictional characters so of course they didn't join forces with anyone.
I will speak evil of what you call the Lords anointed when they are due for it. They're about as anointed as anyone else is, so they aren't exempt from criticism or fault and in a position of leadership they are even more subject to it.
If you want to know who rules over you, just ask yourself who you're not allowed to criticize.
Rick Allen I love the Church of Jesus Christ and know that it is the truth! :)
Eric Waldron Yes, I'm sure you believe that, but you can't know it. If I told you I know that Santa Claus lives and I know that he will visit me this year, you would think "oh, you poor delusional person. An adult that believes in Santa. How cute. But what a whacko."

Nearly everyone outside the .05% of the world who are fully active mormons know this as well. Only those who are gullible and malleable enough to your marketing materials will ever see otherwise.
I'm just so grateful to have the Church in my life. It's been a wonderful six years! ;)
