QUOTE: “In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities. Families lie at the center of our Heavenly Father’s plan. . . . We need to make our homes a place of refuge from the storm, which is increasing in intensity all about us. Even if the smallest openings are left unattended, negative influences can penetrate the very walls of our homes.” – L. Tom Perry, Apostle, “The Importance of the Family”

Young Women LESSON OBJECTIVE & REFERENCES 
In our Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness, the only way to obtain exaltation is through the new and everlasting covenant of celestial marriage (see D&C 131:1–3). When a man and a woman are sealed to each other for time and all eternity in the temple, they have the assurance that their relationship will continue forever if they are true to their covenants. They know that nothing, not even death, can permanently separate them.

– Prepare Yourself Spiritually 1) Why is temple marriage important to you? What blessings does this ordinance provide for you and your family? 2) What righteous examples of temple marriage do the young women have? How can you help instill in them a greater desire to be sealed in the temple?
