Question

As discussed in class, Elder Kofford gave three suggestions regarding what we can do to help nonmember parents or relatives, or those who cannot qualify for a temple recommend, feel that they are part of the marriage?

Answer 1

The suggestions are:

Be VERY understanding of their feelings

Do not do it out of apology but out of love-- don't apologize for God's ways

That day, make them feel as much involved and invited as you can.

These are very important suggestions to treat people in this situation because is important to know that they are important even if their opinions are not the same as yours.
