Elder Parly P. Pratt expressed his feelings after learning about the importance of Marriage from Joseph Smith.
"It was from him that I learned that the wife
of my bosom might be secured to me for time
and all eternity; and that the refined
sympathies and affections which endeared
us to each other emanated from the
fountain of divine eternal love . . .
"I had loved before, but I knew not why.
But now I loved-with a pureness-an intensity
of elevated, exalted feeling, which would lift
my soul from the transitory things of this
grovelling sphere and expand it as the ocean. . . .
In short, I could now love with the spirit and
with the understanding also."
