Everything in the whole gospel system is to prepare us to enter that holy order of matrimony

“From the moment of birth into mortality to the time we are married in the temple, everything we have in the whole gospel system is to prepare and qualify us to enter that holy order of matrimony which makes us husband and wife in this life and in the world to come. … There is nothing in this world as important as the creation and perfection of family units.”

- Elder Bruce R. McConkie, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Conference Report, Apr. 1970, 27, as quoted in "Strengthening the Family: The Family Is Central to the Creator’s Plan," Ensign, Dec 2004, p. 51
