  8. “The discipline of earth life is to prepare for the work and glory of eternity, and eternity is a long time to think about a job not well done. So learn here and now to be a true disciple, to be disciplined—like Jesus.”

  9. “Nephi is one of our noblest examples of faith and faithfulness. Look up the last two verses of the book of 1 Nephi; both of those verses contain the words “be obedient” (1 Nephi 22:30–31). Now look up the last words of the book of 2 Nephi, which may well be the last recorded words of that great prophet. Just before the amen you’ll notice Nephi’s final emphatic words: “I must obey” (2 Nephi 33:15). So follow Nephi, as he followed the Savior, and follow the Savior, as he followed the Father. Obey the laws and get the blessings—as Jesus did.”

  10. “You have been called to serve, which means you give and give and give. In fact, you are not happy if you are not serving others. Your assignment is to change lives, and because your exposure to each passing person in life is often brief, it is wise to touch them quickly and deeply. During your early years on earth, you had parents, teachers, leaders, and older friends and relatives whose duty was to create a spiritual atmosphere for you to flourish in; now it is your turn to serve by creating a spiritual atmosphere for others. That is what we call leadership.”

  11. “People matter. Following Jesus’ example, you have to make people the focus of your life. Not all people—that was for him and for the prophets and apostles, who are special witnesses of him in all the world. But for you, in your narrow circle, those who come within your sphere of influence are the ones to whom you direct your devoted efforts.”

  12. “Difficult things happen to all of us. Sometimes things are not hunky-dory. But every one of us can think of people we know who have endured worse than we have and who have remained delightful through it all. We can all think of people we know who never say unkind things about others. And if they can do it, then through the enabling power of Christ, so can we.”

  13. “[My wife] knows my weaknesses better than anyone, and she could have reminded me to work on any one of them that morning. She could have pointed out my cluttered garage or my unmowed lawn. But instead she appreciated the man I was right at that moment, instead of haranguing me about the man I should be. And the net effect was that I wanted to be better for her in the future, because she loved me—as I was—right then.”

  15. “Pornography can afflict a couple’s relationship the way a malignant cancer ravages a body. The most devastating thing pornography does is come between a man and woman at the worst times and in the worst way. Right at those moments when a person is struggling and in need emotionally, pornography offers an alternative—a relationship counterfeit. Pornography becomes something that person can go to for soothing and an illusory sense of connection and vitality. And that, perhaps, is pornography’s real virulence, its ultimate price: When he’s going to it, he’s not going to her.”

  16. “We can break the negative cycles we get into as spouses by becoming more aware of the strong feelings that are triggered by the topics that get heated between us. We can begin to acknowledge what we yearn for from our spouse and what we’re afraid of missing out on in the relationship. We can have tender, revealing discussions with loved ones to help them understand exactly why the topic at hand becomes such a hot one for us. Such awareness and disclosure helps the spouse soften emotionally and respond more compassionately. In place of the old, mutually provocative cycles, we shift into a reciprocal pattern of gentleness, closeness, and soothing one another.”

  17. “As important as it is for a husband to respect and be genuinely touched by his wife’s sensibilities about sex, it’s equally important for her to respect his excitement about it, to truly allow it into her heart, not just try to “get what makes him tick” or even “be more accommodating.” Male sexuality is not the problem. In fact, it can become a key (and enjoyable) part of the solution when he keeps pursuing her sexually in patient, loving ways and she keeps her heart open to all of her beloved, including his sexuality.”

  18. “Healing your relationship isn’t just about getting over pornography. You can get over a porn habit, and your partner can get over his or her hard feelings about it, and yet you still might not have a deeply rewarding relationship. The healthiest outcome isn’t simply to produce two recovered individuals. Instead, think of this crisis of pornography as an invitation to learn a new and authentic form of intimacy with your partner.”

  19. “Husband and wife can help each other if he recognizes and shares the deeper emotions that drive the cravings for relief. This will help her see that he’s coming to her long before the emotions become sexualized in the form of seeking relief through pornography. If he connects to those emotional undercurrents and brings those to her early in the process, she’s going to have an easier time knowing how to respond to him. In fact, both of them will be less overwhelmed by these emotions, as he won’t be as afraid of relapsing and feeling completely ashamed of himself, and she won’t experience what he’s sharing with her as a betrayal.”

  20. ““Zion,” originally a poetic name for Jerusalem, ... is the “city of our God,” the city of safety, unity, and blessing, under the rulership of the Heavenly King. To sing [hymns about Zion] is to remind ourselves of our most important hopes and goals.”
