“The marriage covenant,” Elder Johansson stressed, “is one of the most important covenants you’ll make in this life. Worlds without end is not possible without it.” He further encouraged the young single adults to “Look after each other, be good to one another. There is so much around us that try to destroy us. So let’s take care of each other.” He asked the YSA why it was hard for some of them to get married. Some responses included money issues, parental disapproval and Cultural pressures.
