Hello everyone, welcome to follow him favorites. You know the deal this year. John and I take on a single question

from this week's lesson. John the lesson this week is

Genesis 24 through

27 and we've got a difficult question for you that I hear for my students all the time, which is how do I find a spouse?

Abraham has a

servant who goes and finds a spouse for Isaac and brings her home and just sets her right in front of Isaac.

Like how great would this be for those who are who are thinking I've got to find somebody on this planet to marry and

be an eternal companion? Why can't I have a servant like like Abraham does who's gonna do this for me?

What would you say to a student who says how do I find a spouse?

Oh, I wish we're in exact science. It's so different now.

I like to think that marriage is one of the only commandments that you cannot obey by yourself that agency is so important and

If an inter-range marriage here, that's a totally different time place part of the world

But for us today, you have to find somebody who's willing to marry you and you're willing to marry them

The only other command I can think of that requires someone else's agency is multiply and replenish the earth and you're supposed to get those in the right order, right?

so

It's a totally different type of thing and I think sometimes the best you can do is just be where you're supposed to be doing what you ought to be doing and

Ask Heavenly Father to help put somebody in the same space where you are somehow and in your school and your ward and your neighbor whatever

Because no, it's not an exact science with Isaac and Rebecca

Maybe the Lord had a special interest in that working out the way that that it did

It's a great question. I want to hear what you have to say, hey

Yeah, it's difficult. Do you remember section 88 of the doctrine covenants where the Lord says light

Cleve a th unto light, right?
