"The Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, said of those who would be part of His Church: 'Be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine' (D&C 38:27). And at the creation of man and woman, unity for them in marriage was not given as hope, it was a command!

'Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh' (Gen. 2:24). Our Heavenly Father wants our hearts to be knit together. That union in love is not simply an ideal. It is a necessity."

"As we take a long, hard look at the world today, it is becoming increasingly evident that Satan is working overtime to enslave the souls of men. His main target is the fundamental unit of society--the family. During the past few decades, Satan has waged a vigorous campaign to belittle and demean this basic and most important of all organizations."
(L. Tom Perry, "Fatherhood, an Eternal Calling," Ensign, May 2004, 69)
