Christlike Quote by Mark D. Ogletree
““We must do more, however, than merely have affection for our spouse. We must show Christlike love. We are to love our spouses as the Savior loves us. Christlike love means to sacrifice and to love someone else more than we love ourselves. Loving our spouse as the Savior loves us comes from the strength and power of His Atonement. True charity involves sacrificing our own needs for those of our spouses.””
