After a few days she decided to ask Riley if she was all right. She was surprised to find how much it had hurt Riley to be embarrassed in front of others.

In the temple we receive the highest ordinance available to men and women, the sealing of husbands and wives together for eternity. We hope our young people will settle for nothing less than a temple marriage.
Just as baptism is a commandment of the Lord, so is temple marriage. … It is part of our destiny. We cannot fulfill our ultimate aims without it. Do not be satisfied with anything less. (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Howard W. Hunter [2015], 210)

Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles testified:
The ultimate promise of the Restoration is redemption through Jesus Christ. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the proof that He, in fact, possesses power to redeem all who will come unto Him—redeem them from sorrow, injustice, regret, sin, and even death. ... Because of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Restoration has meaning, our mortal lives have meaning, and ultimately our very existence has meaning.
Joseph Smith, the great prophet of the Restoration, offers the overarching testimony for our time of the resurrected Christ: “That he lives! For we saw him, even on the right hand of God.” I humbly add my witness to Joseph’s and to that of the apostles and prophets before him and the apostles and prophets who have succeeded him, that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah, the Only Begotten Son of God, and the resurrected Redeemer of all mankind. (D. Todd Christofferson, “Sharing the Message of the Restoration and the Resurrection,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2020, 113)

From the Prophet Joseph Smith’s day to ours, the ongoing restoration of all things has brought enlightenment on the necessity of the authority and power of the priesthood in helping both men and women accomplish their divinely appointed responsibilities. Recently we have been taught that women who are set apart under the direction of one holding priesthood keys operate with priesthood authority in their callings [see Dallin H. Oaks, “The Keys and Authority of the Priesthood,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2014, 49–52]. …
So what does that mean for you and me? How does understanding priesthood authority and power change our lives? One of the keys is to understand that when women and men work together, we accomplish a great deal more than we do working separately. Our roles are complementary rather than competitive. Although women are not ordained to a priesthood office, … women are blessed with priesthood power as they keep their covenants, and they operate with priesthood authority when they are set apart to a calling. (Jean B. Bingham, “United in Accomplishing His Work,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2020, 61–62)

You have a friend named Lauren who has not come to church for several months. You and some of the other youth in your ward decide to visit her at her home to encourage her to attend church this coming Sunday. When you tell her that you’ve missed her at church, she replies, “I’ve been going on hikes on Sundays instead of coming to church. I feel closer to God in nature.” When you try to tell her about how it will bless her and others if she attends church, she says, “I don’t feel like I need the Church in order to be a good person. I don’t believe God is going to reject people from being with Him just because they don’t go to church or go through the temple.”

Elder Larry Y. Wilson of the Seventy shared an experience where his daughter chose not to keep the Sabbath day holy and learned to obey through feeling a loss of the promised blessings.
Our daughter Mary was a standout soccer player growing up. One year her team made it to the championships and, wouldn’t you know it, that game was to be played on a Sunday. As a young teen, Mary had had years of teaching that the Sabbath was a day of rest and spiritual regeneration, not recreation. But she still felt pressure from her coaches and teammates to play, as well as a desire not to let her team down. …
After a few days she announced her decision. She would play the game on Sunday. … After the game ended, Mary slowly walked over to her waiting mother. “Oh, Mom,” she said, “that felt awful. I never want to feel like that again. I’m never playing another game on the Sabbath day.” And she never did. (Larry Y. Wilson, “Only upon the Principles of Righteousness,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2012, 104–5)

What is "In the ordinances thereof, the power of godliness is manifest"?
I testify that the earth and all life upon it are of divine origin. The Creation did not happen by chance. It did not come ex nihilo (out of nothing). And human minds and hands able to build buildings or create computers are not accidental. It is God who made us and not we ourselves. We are His people! The Creation itself testifies of a Creator. We cannot disregard the divine in the Creation. Without our grateful awareness of God’s hand in the Creation, we would be just as oblivious to our provider as are goldfish swimming in a bowl. With deep gratitude, we echo the words of the Psalmist, who said, “O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches” [Psalm 104:24].
This earth is but one of many creations over which God presides. “Worlds without number have I created,” He said. “And I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten” [Moses 1:33]. Grand as it is, planet Earth is part of something even grander—that great plan of God. Simply summarized, the earth was created that families might be. Scripture explains that a husband and wife “shall be one flesh, and all this that the earth might answer the end of its creation” [Doctrine and Covenants 49:16]. (Russell M. Nelson, “The Creation,” Ensign, May 2000, 85)
