Families are central to God’s plan for our happiness. In the temple, families can be united forever as husband and wife together with their children. The scriptures call the authority to unite families forever the sealing power. This is the same authority that Jesus gave the Apostle Peter to declare blessings on earth that will continue in heaven.

This the sealing room, in this room we will kneel together at the altar to be sealed for this life and for eternity. This ordinance (ceremony), is also sometimes referred to as “temple marriage” or “eternal marriage.”

Knowing that our families can be together after death brings greater meaning to life. It encourages us to be honorable and faithful. It also brings peace as we face trials; even the suffering or death of loved ones. The promise of eternal life with our families helps us to understand God’s love for all people.
