- "Satan's preeminence on this topic allows him to spread his perspective like
wildfire without much hindrance. There is barely a faint whisper to counterbalance
the world's distorted perspective. . . . The Lord's divine design of marital
sexuality needs more airtime"
- "In our zeal to keep sacred things sacred we hesitate to talk about them at all.
Thus, the sacredness slips into a secretness that can shut the door to needed light
and understanding. Sex needs to be taken out of the darkness and brought into God's light."
- "Marriage can be more an exultant ecstasy than the human mind can conceive. This is within
the reach of every couple, every person (President Spencer W. Kimball)."
- "We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely
appointed" (Proclamation on the Family)."
- "Satan has found that distorting the divinity of sexual relations in marriage is an
effective way to destroy happiness, marriages, and families. Sexual togetherness is good
and is of God—correctly associated with light and truth, which have always been there—from
the beginning. Miraculous things will happen as we put light and truth back into sex."
- "Satan has surrounded sexuality with mists of darkness clouding our vision and that of our
children. . . . The scriptures can pierce the darkness with light and truth."
- "God apparently felt it was a blessing not only to have the power to
procreate, but also to give husbands and wives sexual desires for each other.
This suggests God purposefully planted within husband and wife the attraction
they feel for each other. . . . to bless us and 'cause' us to desire each
other" (see Abraham 4:28).
- "Once you know God created sex within marriage for high and holy purposes
you can begin to reduce and even eliminate further accumulation of negative
assaults on your beliefs, and you will be less influenced by derogatory comments
from others. Others' disgust with or feelings of duty, dirtiness or drudgery
about sex will have little or no impact on you because you will know the truth."
- "Challenging old beliefs and gaining a firm testimony of the sanctity of
sex will not immediately solve all sexual issues. Negative feelings and
inhibitions will not necessarily melt away once you know sex is good and of
God. There are many layers and issues that will need to be addressed and
worked on to achieve the sexual oneness and intimacy you are meant to have."
- "There is an untapped potential power in the realm of fulfilling physical
intimacy for both husband and wife. A strong and sanctifying sexual relationship
in marriage can fortify, illuminate, and ignite a marriage in a way nothing else
can."
