"I would admonish you to maintain an eternal perspective. Make certain that the marriage in your future is a temple marriage. There is no scene so sweet, no time so sacred as that very special day of your marriage. Then and there you glimpse celestial joy. Be alert; do not permit temptation to rob you of this blessing.
"I should [also] like to dispel one rumor that is very hard to put to rest. I know of no mission president in all the world who has ever told a missionary that he had the responsibility to marry within six months after his mission. I think that rumor was commenced by a returned missionary, and if not by a returned missionary, by the girlfriend of a returned missionary." (New Era, October 2004)

“The most important single thing that any Latter-day Saint ever does in this world is
to marry the right person, in the right place, by the right authority.”
(Elder Bruce R. McConkie, New Era, January 1975)
