Being Sealed to Your Family

Knowing that families can be together forever brings peace and hope. The sealing power that is exercised in temples solemnizes marriages and seals families together across generations.

“We believe that families can be together forever. In the temple, husbands and wives and children and parents can be sealed together for time and all eternity. Once you and your spouse have been endowed, you can be sealed together along with your children. You can also participate in sealings for your deceased ancestors.

“Learn about the temple sealing. Consider using:
“‘About a Temple Sealing,’ temples.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
“‘Why Is Family So Important?’ ‘How Can My Family Return to Live with God?’ “‘What Is the Purpose of the Temple?’ ‘What Is the Temple Sealing?’ and ‘What about My Family?’ in Families and Temples, 1–5, 9–10, 22–26.
“Set a date with the temple to be sealed to your spouse and children for time and all eternity (if applicable).

“If your circumstances allow, continue to visit the temple often after you have been endowed and sealed so you can perform ordinances for your deceased ancestors.”¹
