LDS & Living Single--Survey

LIVING SINGLE

"Challenges in life do not usually come equipped with a set of neat and orderly answers...Your own insipiration and intuition, as parts of a prayerful, temple-centered, service-oriented life, are probably more helpful than the well-meaning advice, crticism, and solutions offered by some who try to help you toward your goal of temple marriage."
-Elder John Carmack
