An innocent video about temple marriage.
A commenter with an ax to grind in a faux-kind way.
Started a thought…
what if…
…instead of claiming the church is wrong and spouting antagonizing verbiage about Joseph Smith and the early leaders of the church…
…instead of blaming the church for the marital problems we experience, which is not the church's fault because we have our agency to love and commit that love to our spouse regardless of the verbiage in the Sealing Ordinance…
…instead, you, Mr. Dude specifically, or basically Anyone and Everyone, started your comments and thoughts on social media with WHAT IF…
what if…
…the culture of the church started emphasizing the need for getting to really know and therefore eternally love your potential spouse before we rush to the temple and those eternally bonding covenants…
…we decided to ask God for help and guidance in understanding the doctrine presented in the temple ordinances…
…we stop relying on man's interpretation and rely on our individual communication with God…
…instead of standing high on a soapbox of "righteousness" -- we started communicating in a way that encompasses the beliefs, feelings and understanding of those we are trying to learn from…
…instead of judgment we chose agency and choice, but most importantly --- individual worth of a soul.
