Family relationships don't have to end in the grave


My family, both those that came before me, and those that I am associated with now, are the single most important thing to me that I have ever known.  There is nothing more precious.   I assume this is the case for most people. In civil weddings, and in most churches, it is understood that you are married until you die.  I find this unacceptable.  
The LDS Church teaches that the family is the most basic and precious unit on earth and in heaven.  When LDS families are married in the temple, they are married not just “until death" but for time and for all eternity.    This means our family relationships continue beyond death, and continue to grow forever.  Because I love my family so much, this is where I want to be.
