We’ve all heard the statistic: somewhere between 40-50% of marriages in the U.S. will end in divorce. It’s not a pretty figure. While Latter-day Saints generally have a lower instance of separation and divorce, we aren’t exactly immune, though some of us have definitely done a better job mastering marriage than others. To learn from the example of one of the best of us, we searched the life of President Henry B. Eyring to find an apostle’s secrets to a successful marriage.

In ticking off his credentials on the campaign trail — management consultant, businessman, governor — Mitt Romney omits what may have been his most distinctive post: Mormon lay leader, offering pastoral guidance on all manner of human affairs from marriage to divorce, abortion, adoption, addiction, unemployment and even business disputes. Bryce Clark was a recipient of Mr. Romney’s spiritual advice. Late one summer night in 1993, distraught over his descent into alcoholism and drug use, Mr. Clark, then a 19-year-old college student, decided to confess that he had strayed from his Mormon faith. So he drove through this well-heeled Boston suburb to Mr. Romney’s secluded seven-bedroom home.

Tyler was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, enjoying the “Show-Me State” until he served his mission in Fresno, California. Because he lived in St. Louis, Tyler is a die-hard Cardinals fan (go Cards!). Tyler was the baby of four half-brothers and four half-sisters, but he doesn’t consider any of them “halves.” He was first married in 1999, and then divorced in 2005. He later remarried, marrying Tammy’s sister whom he had the biggest crush on while growing up. Today they have a family of three girls (20, 16, 16) and 2 boys (15, 10). Tyler began his law enforcement career in August of 2000. He first started at Utah State Prison. He later transferred to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office where he currently serves as a Sergeant. He has served in the following different areas throughout his career at the Sheriff’s Office: jail, patrol, investigations, contract-city patrol, courts with specialty assignments on the traffic team, Special Victims Unit, and SWAT. When he is not working, he enjoys spending time playing board games, bowling, and watching movies or hiking with his family.

Now is an era of fascination with polygamy in American culture. This arguably started with the notorious HBO series Big Love; currently several reality shows depict polygamy, like Sister Wives and, more recently, My Five Wives. If America weren't oddly fascinated with it, these shows wouldn't keep getting picked up. (Aside from popular culture, polygamy is also in the news. Just a week ago, Federal Judge Clark Waddoups of Utah ruled part of Utah's polygamy law unconstitutional.)
