Elder Richard G. Scott answers questions asked by young single adults0
Mormon Life says: Some great nuggets of advice here.
Engaging a large congregation of young single adults in an interactive fireside Sunday evening, Oct. 18, Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve discussed various topics, including relationships and marriage.
Those single adults ages 18-30 gathered from 24 stakes in northern Utah nearly filled the Bountiful Regional Center to capacity. The energy in the hall increased as microphones were passed among members of the congregation.
Elder Scott opened his counsel by commenting on lessons of life he has learned that he had individuals read as they were projected on a large screen. Then he opened up the meeting for the young single adults to ask him questions.
He closed by speaking specifically to the women and men about relationships and marriage before bearing fervent testimony of the Savior.
The theme of finding a worthy marriage companion was a common thread throughout the evening, and Elder Scott spoke specifically about the topic at the end of the question/answer portion.
He told the women, "Don't give up hope. Keep your standards high so that the Lord can guide you." He continued, "As you are worthy to have a worthy husband, you will have one. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it's on this side of the veil or the other side of the veil. But that is so important in an eternal span of things. Live to be worthy. Don't compromise any standard and the Lord will guide you to a companion that you will be most pleased to have. My heart goes to you sisters because you don't have control like the young men have. Prayerfully, live worthily and the promises that the prophets have made for you will be realized."
