"'Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt
cleave unto her and none else.’ (Doctrine & Covenants 42:22) To my
knowledge there is only one other thing in all scripture that we are commanded
to love with all our hearts, and that is God Himself. Think what that means!
This kind of love can be shown for your wives in so many ways. First and
foremost, nothing except God Himself takes priority over your wife in your
life–not work, not recreation, not hobbies. Your wife is your precious, eternal
helpmate–your companion. What does it mean to love someone with all your heart?
It means to love with all your emotional feelings and with all your devotion.
Surely when you love your wife with all your heart, you cannot demean her,
criticize her, find fault with her, or abuse her by words, sullen behavior, or
actions." – President Ezra Taft Benson
