" 'Being in love' first moves us to promise fidelity: a quieter love enables us to keep the promise."

-C.S. Lewis

"The more righteous a people become the more they are qualified for loving others and rendering them happy. A wicked man can have but little love for his wife; while a righteous man, being filled with the love of God, is sure to manifest this heavenly attribute in every thought and feeling of his heart, and in every word and deed. Love, joy, and innocence will radiate from his very countenance, and be expressed in every look. This will beget confidence in the wife of his bosom, and she will love him in return; for love begets love; happiness imparts happiness; and these heaven born emotions will continue to increase more and more, until they are perfected and glorified in all the fulness of eternal love itself.”

-Elder Orson Pratt

“Perfect love is perfectly patient.” 

-Elder Neal A. Maxwell

“If we would truly seek to be more like our Savior and Master, learning to love as He loves should be our highest goal.” -President Ezra Taft Benson

"Your success in marriage will depend largely on your ability to focus on improving yourself, rather than trying to reshape your spouse. It will depend more on being the right one than finding the right one." -Elder Lynn G Robbins

“What is love? Many people think of it as mere physical attraction and they casually speak of ‘falling in love’ and ‘love at first sight.’ This may be Hollywood’s version and the interpretation of those who write love songs and love fiction. True love is not wrapped in such flimsy material. One might become immediately attracted to another individual, but love is far more than physical attraction. It is deep, inclusive and comprehensive. Physical attraction is only one of the many elements, but there must be faith and confidence and understanding and partnership. There must be common ideals and standards. There must be a great devotion and companionship. Love is cleanliness and progress and sacrifice and selflessness. This kind of love never tires nor wanes, but lives through sickness and sorrow, poverty and privation, accomplishment and disappointment, time and eternity.” -President Spencer W. Kimball

“Love, as defined by the Lord, elevates, protects, respects, and enriches another. It motivates one to make sacrifices for another.” -Elder Richard G. Scott

"One good yardstick as to whether a person might be the right one for you is this: in [his or] her presence, do you think your noblest thoughts, do you aspire to your finest deeds, do you wish you were better than you are?"

-President Ezra Taft Benson
