Case Study Report In 1-2 page(s), write a response that responds appropriately to the requirements and questions for the case study that you have chosen. The case study I decided to write about is Case Study A: Your friend has seen a lot of family members experience divorce and heartache in marriage. Although your friend believes that marriage can be a positive experience in God’s plan, your friend is scared and wants to talk with you about it. In the beginning of the Family of Proclamation it states: solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. Question #1: What gospel principles or doctrines are involved in the case study, and how do they help to clarify and give direction in addressing the situation? Marriage is such a broad topic, but yet a topic that needs to be continually addressed. I recently read a talk by Spencer W. Kimball about Marriage and Divorce. (President Spencer W. Kimball, Marriage and Divorce, Speeches 1976). I, myself, have been married for almost 19 years and continue to strive to have a good marriage. I have known many friends that think marriage is so easy, and doesn’t need much work. If they later found out that they are not in love with their spouse anymore, they just shrug their shoulders and think they can find another one easy. Marriage is such a blessing, and I would not have it

any other way. President Spencer W. Kimball has stated in his talk, “If two people love the Lord more than their own lives and then love each other more than their own lives, working together in total harmony with the gospel program as their basic structure they are sure to have this great happiness”. I have seen through my life time many members of the church that have gotten divorced, and they eventually ended up remarrying another person. Working hard is a marriage is a two-way street. Marriage is not a one-person deal. Dallin H. Oaks stated, “A good marriage does not require a perfect man or a perfect woman. It only requires a man and a woman committed to strive together toward perfection.” (Dallin H. Oaks, “Divorce”, Ensign, May 2007). Is marriage going to be easy? Heck no. I have answered that question many of times to my friends that have second thoughts about marriage. Is it worth it? I would answer that question a thousand time yes. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. To look at my children’s faces, and my wife’s, I can honestly say that I have am doing my best. As a married couple you grow together. There are going to be disagreement, discouragement, and many other things that will test your marriage. But through the gospel, and the Lord in charge, you can overcome all these things through him.
