Pres. Oaks quote: "For a variety of causes, every elder experiences increases and decreases in his level of sensitivity to the promptings of the Spirit."

Pres. Packer quote: "The end of all activity in the Church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed together for time and for all eternity."

Elder Holland quote: "[We] are not deaf or blind to the feelings that swirl around marriage and the whole same-sex topic... I and many of my Brethren have spent more time and shed more tears on this subject than we could ever adequately convey to you this morning or any morning. We have spent hours discussing what the doctrine of the Church can and cannot provide the individuals and families struggling over this difficult issue."
