While other parents dream of their sons growing up to become astronauts, brain surgeons, or president, I dream of my son having a normal life. My son, Spencer, was diagnosed with autism at age 3. My wife, Katie, and I immediately had a thousand questions. Will he ever be able to get a job? Will he ever be able to live on his own? Will any girl see past his challenges to consider marrying him? We still have those questions, but we've learned to focus on more immediate questions.

To make things even stranger, it was folks from the congregation that delivered the sermons!

Oftentimes it is hard for those who do not deal with mental health struggles to comprehend why a time of year that is supposed to be uplifting and fun can be dark and empty for many.

As I have been reading and studying the Teachings of President Nelsonsince last general conference—and trying to better understand the counsel our Heavenly Parents have given to us through this inspired prophet—I came across a story striking in its simplicity.

In 602 words, 15 prophets, seers, and revelators gave us the Lord’s priorities for achieving successful, happy relationships.

It was a guide for them to make a proper choice in a marriage partner in order to achieve a successful and happy marriage.
