Ldsguy24 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 Hello all, I'm looking for 2 quotes from general authorities. First quote deals with being friends after a divorce. I'm paraphrasing, but the gist of the quote is "if 2 people can remain friends after divorce, why can't they in marriage?" I think it could've been President Monson. Second quote deals with failed intimacy on marriage. Again, paraphrasing, but the Church leader said something like "some may find their love has grown cold, that the marriage reduced to embers" then something about connecting with each other, applying the Gospel to their lives and forgiving, "intimacy would become as a roaring fire". I think it could've been President Kimball, but the "love grown cold part" only produces one talk on the Church website, which is good, but not the quote I'm looking for. I've scoured the Church website and Google. I can't find either. Maybe a few scriptorians here may recall these or someone can lead me in direction. Quote
Ldsguy24 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Update: I found the second quote. It's from Miracle of Forgiveness... "Those who claim their love is dead should return home with all their loyalty, fidelity, honor, cleanness, and the love which has become embers will flare up with scintillating flame again. If love wanes or dies, it is often infidelity of thought or act which gave the lethal potion. I plead with all people, young and old, bound by marriage vows and covenants to make that marriage holy, keep it fresh, express affection meaningfully and sincerely and often. Thus will one avoid the pitfalls which destroy marriages." Still looking for first quote... Edited October 29, 2019 by Ldsguy24 Midwest LDS 1 Quote
pam Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 I don't know if what you are looking for is found in this talk. But it comes pretty close: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2011/04/priesthood-power?lang=eng Quote
Ldsguy24 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Posted November 4, 2019 Nope, though I like that talk. Love President Monson. I'm still looking for it and even have others looking. It most definitely mentions a story about two people who are becoming divorced but want to be friends. The speaker says something along the lines on, if they can be friends after marriage, then they can still resolve their marriage issues. Quote
