The "D" Word: Divorce

          Divorce peaked in the 1970's as a result of the no-fault divorce law, but has been on a mild decline. It is said that 50% of marriages end in divorce. This isn't true, however, because it is hard to track. It may be the same people marrying and then divorcing. The reality is that 75% of people stay happily married. So don't be afraid to make the commitment.

President Spencer W. Kimball gives a never failing formula for marriage success. It is:
  1. very careful selection & marriage in the right way
  2. great unselfishness
  3. continued courtship & affection
  4. keep the commandments
Marriage is instituted to help you become a new person -like our Heavenly Father. You have a lot of power and choices.
