Temple marriage
A Temple marriage is an important sacred ritual that binds 2 people on the earth and in Heaven. Temple sealings usually take between 20 and 30 minutes to perform and are an important part of the Mormon faith. They not only bind two people but also connect families over generations. Mormons believe that temple marriages can help them attain eternal life. To save money for temple sealing, many people delay getting married.
Gay marriage
Some church leaders might be reluctant to change their view on gay marriage. This is based upon scriptures that speak of sealing power in heaven. Jesus Christ our Savior says to Peter that what he binds on Earth will be bound in Heaven. This principle is mentioned by the Doctrine&Covenants (Doctrine&Covenants 13:7) and Helaman 11:7. It is not known whether gay couples can be sealed in Heaven by church leaders. They may not want to take the risk of sealing gay couples in heaven, since the consequences could be eternal.
Singles wards
LDS Church singles wards do not help singles to find a husband and/or wife. Visiting church should not be determined by whether or not one is likely finding a spouse. Instead, it should be based solely on one's relationship to Jesus and God. This is a method of spiritual manipulation that puts the spouse before God. But this does not have to be true.
