Renewing my efforts

After taking a writing class through BYUI's pathway program this last 14 weeks, I have decided I need to make this blog a larger priority in my life. I wrote a paper on marriage/divorce that I am going to post here.
Lest anyone get the wrong idea and think that I am closed minded about divorce, you may rest assured that I am not. I know there are times when we must sever a relationship. Because of the ease in obtaining a divorce the severing is much too frequent and early. Marriage is important to God because family is important to Him. Without marriage, strong or weak, we see the fast demise of the family unit in society.

I am also including a link to a talk by Dallin H. Oaks, an apostle of the Lord, Jesus Christ. This talk was given in a general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in April of 2007.
