The Seeming Contradiction Between Jesus’ and Joseph Smith’s Teachings on Marriage in the Next Life: How Early Christian Sources Add to Our Understanding
By James and Judith McConkie

Defending our families can lead to the greatest championship of all—eternal life with our Heavenly Parents. Our families can become celestial through the merits, mercy, and grace of our Savior Jesus Christ.
