"I learned vividly that I could not be much closer to God than I was to my wife, and that she was one of the keys to my having the Spirit. That lesson has been reinforced over the years and has motivated me to try and stay close to her in order to have harmony in our relationship and the full blessings of the Lord." -C Richard Chidester, Eternal Companions,Chapter 3: "The Issue is a Change of Heart"

"Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Wrote William Shakespeare, 'They do not love that do not show their love.' We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us." -President Thomas S Monson
