"This entry consists of two articles: The first article, Marriage : Social and Behavioral Perspectives, is an overview of the concept of marriage patterns in LDS society; the second article, Marriage : Eternal Marriage, focuses on distinctive marriage beliefs practiced by members of the LDS Church in their temples. One of the highest religious goals for Latter-day Saints, both male and female, is to be married eternally in an LDS temple and to strive continually to strengthen the bonds of love and righteousness in marriage. Civil marriages are recognized as lawful and beneficial, but they do not continue after death." [Summary from Article]
