Okay, so this talk is awesome! I love it!
One of my favorite quotes that is always all over Facebook is about that old man that was asked how his marriage lasted so long and he replied that he comes from when something is broken you would fix it, not throw it away. I love that President Uchtdorf talked about that. I feel like that's crucial for the youth of today to know, especially the ones who are close to getting married.
Plus, the best quote from conference is in this talk. Everyone needs to read it and comment with what your favorite quote is!

The Temple Marriage I Waited For
https://www.lds.org/liahona/1997/04/the-temple-marriage-i-waited-for?lang=eng
I love that even though this woman wanted to be married, she listened to what God was telling her and she called off her wedding the day of the wedding. I think it would take a lot of faith to be able to do that. In the end, God blessed her and she was able to get the temple marriage she had always wanted.
I think that there are many times in our lives when our desperate want for something clouds our judgement and our ability to feel the Spirit. It takes a lot of work to really, truly put our own feelings aside and listen to what God wants us to do. Sometimes it's the same thing we wanted, other times it's not. But we can be sure that God only wants the best for us and will always lead us in the right direction.

Nine Principles for a Successful Marriage and Family
https://www.lds.org/ensign/2013/06/nine-principles-for-a-successful-marriage-and-family?lang=eng
I really enjoyed this article. I liked that it went through each point on how to create a successful marriage and family from the Family Proclamation to the world. One of the quotes that really stuck out to me was on faith. Elder Pearson said that, "We can give our children education, lessons, athletics, the arts, and material possessions, but if we do not give them faith in Christ, we have given little." I really believe this to be true. I think one of the most important things my parents helped me with was my testimony of Christ. I know that they did their best to teach me the correct principles of the gospel. I think the principle that was taught about repentance is very true, that today will always be a better day to repent than tomorrow.
There are so many other things in this talk that I enjoyed, but I'd like to hear what you all have to say! Please read this amazing article from the Ensign and let me know what you think! :)
