In two weeks I'll be teaching a class to the entire Young Womens on Temple Marriage.
Is there anything you've heard, seen or think that I should teach, or drive home?
I have so many things, I want to see what others think.
Any input, from anybody
And if you're not mormon, what input would you give a group of 12-18 year olds on marriage??

Hey Jill- we just did this lesson today and I think the most important thing the teacher said was that the decisions the girls make "NOW" are the ones that will get them to their goal of temple marriage. All the girls in the class said they want a temple marriage as a goal, but I think sometimes it's just kind of out there in the future and they forget that they need to be making the right decisions NOW to keep them worthy, find a spouse that is worthy and that they both want to be sealed together for eternity. Good Luck. This is such an important lesson for the YW.
marry someone who honors their priesthood in ALL situations and can use that power at any time.
I would make sure they know it's more than liking the same things. I remember thinking if I found someone who liked all the things I liked we would be good to go. It's about having the same spiritual goal and being willing to work together to get there.
I heard Gordon B. Hinckley say this at a conference when I was single. I used it as a check list when I was dating. It's the recipe for a good husband.
“You are single. You are hoping to catch that perfect man. I have yet to see one who is perfect. Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are that you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley
Oh girl....first off....GOOD LUCK! You'll do awesome though...you are such a great teacher! :) My one advice....don't think that a temple marriage is divorce proof. Just because you were sealed for time and all eternity doesn't mean that life will be bliss and that you WILL end up together forever, because things can happen that will change that. YOu have to work every single day to make forever happen. Also, be sooooo careful on who you choose. There is this really great book that is called something like 300 questions every LDS person should ask before marriage. My opinion is that if I had done this book the first time around I NEVER would have married you know who. Micah and I did it together and it was seriously amazing to see our answers. Well, he wrote in it and I wrote in it and then we actually discussed the answers together. I had never experinced that before so maybe that is why it was so cool! Anyhow, long answer there....don't know if any of that helps but again....good luck and I would love to hear how it goes! :)
The thing that sticks out most to me from when I was in YW was... one day we all got dressed up in wedding dresses, had our haair done and got pics taken of us looking like brides in front of the temple. I was 14. that pic sat on my dresser till I got married, it was always a reminder to never settle for anything less.
One thing I wish my parents or leaders would have taught, and that I will teach my girls. temple marriage does not equal fairytale. Marriage alone hard work, Temple helps start things out on the right path. But all the cutesy stuff about dating, and being engaged is not what marriage is and I think alot of LDS girls go into marriage thinking it's just going to be wonderful and fairytale-ish just because they were married in the Temple.
