It is important to teach the young women the importance of temple marriage. Of course the ideal place to do this is in the home. As parents it is important to talk about the blessings that the girls will receive as they reach their goal of temple marriage. It is important to talk about how families have the opportunity to be together forever and the way for that to happen is to be sealed in the temple.
In addition to stressing the blessings of temple marriage, you should talk to your daughter about the things that she needs to do in order to be married in the temple. You should emphasize the importance of staying clean. Additionally you can talk about how sincere repentance can help each girl still be able to achieve that goal if she should stray. You can also talk about the importance of choosing a young man that will be able to take her to the temple. This is a wonderful way to start out a family.
As young women’s leaders it is important to emphasize the blessings of temple marriage as well. You can do this through your example of a temple marriage. You may want to talk about the blessings that have come into your life because of being married in the temple. You may also want to talk about the choices that you made as a young woman that helped you to achieve that goal. It is also important for the young women to realize that any marriage can experience difficulties, and that the gospel can help them work through difficult times.
My first fast Sunday at BYU I was amazed at the number of girls in my ward who stood up and bore their testimonies (in Relief Society) about how much they wanted to be married in the temple. (And no they were not looking to get married right away.) It really impressed me that they had this goal in mind, and made decisions about how to behave and who to date with this wonderful goal in mind. It is important to help each young woman realize the importance of this worthy goal.
