Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
For yesterday is but a dream.
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.

None Else

Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else. And he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her shall deny the faith, and shall not have the Spirit. … Thou shalt not commit adultery. Doctrine & Covenants 42:22-24

Prophets of God have spoken clearly about chastity in thought, word, and deed. President Ezra Taft Benson admonished: “Decide now to be chaste. The decision to be chaste and virtuous need only be made once. Make that decision now, and let it be so firm and with such deep commitment that it can never be shaken” (New Era, January 1988, 6). The powers of creation are most sacred and are to be employed only as the Lord has directed. The greatest joys of life come when husband and wife love each other with all their hearts, when they are trustworthy and loyal to each other, when they bridle their thoughts and actions. President Gordon B. Hinckley counseled, “You should recognize, you must recognize, that both experience and divine wisdom dictate virtue and moral cleanliness as the way that leads to strength of character, peace in the heart, and happiness in life” (Ensign, May 1987, 48). Husband and wife are to cleave to each other in love and faithfulness. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell. Draw Near Unto Me: Daily Reflections on the Doctrine and Covenants. 110)
