Eternal Marriage from the Eyes of Married Converts

The topic of eternal marriage and our responsibilities as husbands is interesting in the context of a non-Utah High Priests Group - a bunch of old men, most of whom converted to the Church with their wives and look at it from the perspective of how the Restored Gospel changed their attitudes toward their wives and their duties as husbands. I think everyone should hear that discussion occasionally - even if only to emphasize how cool these teachings really are to those who grew up and started marriage without them.

One quick example:

A recent convert was sealed to his wife two years ago. They almost separated years ago, then renewed their marriage a few years ago. She laughingly and he sincerely talk about how not too many years ago she wouldn’t have dreamed of “marrying” him a third time; they both glow about the upcoming ceremony now. Both of them attribute that change directly to their acceptance of the restored Gospel and the perspective it gave them.
