Fa Truth Gine Be Fa Truth

In Barbados you get used to asking people if things are the "truth".

Marriage is one of the things which has always been constant. While in recent years, the word has been sauteed and the texture prepared on a plate to appease the world. However, as beautiful and as tasty as this meal may be, nothing is as satisfying as staying true to the true meaning of what marriage was ordained to be.

In 1 Nephi 11 verses 35 and 36, we hear the story of the great and spacious building. Those who held onto the iron rod became that much closer to salvation while those who marveled at the grand and spacious building were left in a state of stagnation and were unable to receive salvation.

We can look at this from a marriage perspective. Marriage, as ordained from Heavenly Father, is truly defined between a man and a woman. Those in grand spacious buildings believe otherwise. Those who seek to receive that meal meant to appease the world remain in a constant loop circling the building marveling at its beauty while those who hold fast to the eternal truths and follow the doctrines of the gospel obey and hold fast to the iron rod.

As stated in the Proclamation, marriage allows us to take part in Heavenly Father's eternal plan.

Although I am single as a pringle over here in the "good-ole isles of the sea", I testify of these things. I know that marriage allows us to fulfill the work which Heavenly Father prepared for us long before this mortal existence.
