Sealing

What's at issue

Marriage and family relationships sealed by priesthood authority in holy temples, intended to endure beyond mortality. Temple covenants, ordinances, and the covenant path that leads to eternal families; temple preparation and worthiness; the doctrine that sealings bind families together eternally.

Where it appears in the Proclamation

• Paragraph 3 — The Eternal Family in God's Plan
• Paragraph 7 — Marriage, Children & the Roles of Mothers and Fathers
