Fear not little flock do good let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail. . .Look unto me in every thought doubt not, fear not.

Those choicest blessings are associated with marriage between a man and a woman by appropriate priesthood authority to bring together a family unit for creation and happiness in this life and in the life to come.
