The family is of central importance in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes erroneously called the “Mormon Church.” All the programs and auxiliaries of the Church are administered and organized so as to support happy, healthy families centered upon faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Kenda Creasy Dean authored a book called, Almost Christian:What the Faith of our Teenagers is Telling the American Church. Dean claims that most Christian sects in the United States have watered down religion so much that it has become meaningless to young people. These young people are joining America’s fastest-growing religious group: the unaffiliated.
Dean included a chapter in her book called “Mormon Envy.” She finds that more Mormon youth choose to continue in the religion of their parents than those of any other Christian faith. She gives the following reasons:

No matter what words are said, that is when a marriage ends if it does not take place in a Mormon temple. This is because those who perform sealings in Mormon Temples have the authority to bind a couple together for time and all eternity. Those who perform civil marriages only have the authority to marry a couple for their time on this earth.
When a couple chooses to be married in a Mormon Temple, however, it is a marriage which will last beyond this life. It requires sacrifice on the part of the couple, because in order to be worthy to enter a Mormon Temple, one has to be living very high moral standards.
