So not many people know what the Great Plan of Happiness is, well as you know I am Mormon or LDS. We believe that we were sent to the earth for a reason, which is first to obtain a body. I believe that we are created or formed after God or Heavenly Father. Thus I believe that he has a body just like you and I do. Second to progress and grow not just physically but also spiritually. I believe that we are here on earth to be tried and tested. So in other words this is just a big test, and it will determine what happens after we die. I believe that we will be judged not only on our acceptance of Jesus Christ and his teachings, but also on our actions. This means that after we die I believe that we will meet with God and Jesus and we will be judged on our actions and how we were on earth. Third I believe that we are on this earth to form an eternal marriage and family. I believe that we can be married to our spouse not only for time, but forever. Think to yourself...what do you believe will happen after you die? Will you still be able to be with your family? Will you still be married to your wife or husband? Or do you have a civil marriage that lasts, "till death do you part"? Well in the LDS church we believe that we have been given the authority to marry people not only for time, but eternity. This means that after you die, you can still be married to your husband or wife, and your kids will still be your kids. What a wonderful gift that we can have to be able to live with our families forever, even after we die.
When we look at marriage like this we also must realize that it is not just a contract, but something much more sacred. Marriage is something that is commanded for us to do by God. It is his will and what he wants us to do. He has a plan and a path for each of us. He started with Adam and the Fall, because Adam fell he was able to have a family and children. Thus because of the fall we have the creation of the family.
