D&C 131
The covenant of marriage is an important ordeal. For a no one cannot enter into the celestial kingdom without becoming first sealed to a spouse. Man and woman were never meant to be alone. Heavenly Father is gracious enough to let us become sealed for eternity to our spouse and our family.
I like this section of D&C because it gives some factual information concerning spirits and that it's impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.
It's horrible how today people are not staying married for very long. Marriage is being taken in completely new directions and is being defiled by the thought that same-sex couples should be able to do this and defile God's law and make a mockery of his sacred commandments. There are scriptures in the bible that talk about that there should be no such instances.

One Tenth
D&C 119:4
The law of tithing is an actual law decreed by the Lord. This is for our welfare and for the supporting of the Church so missionaries can be supported and new temples and churches can be built. Without this law many students probably wouldn't be able to come to BYU and the Church would suffer financially in many different ways.

Bring in the Tithes
Malachi 3:10-12
It's interesting to know that we will be blessed greatly for paying tithes unto the Lord. If we don't pay tithes it's almost like stealing and being ungrateful for all he has done for us. So paying tithes is very important in the Church so we will be blessed and become prosperous and show our devotion and gratitude unto the Lord.

Receiving Health
D&C 89:18-21
What a great promise it is if we keep the Word of Wisdom we will be blessed and we will do well in our lives. We shall run and not be weary, we shall walk and not faint. And it makes sense that if we're taking care of our bodies like we're supposed to then we will be healthy and be able to do all sorts of things. And even better, the destroying angel will just pass right by us. This is if we keep ourselves healthy and are obedient to the Word of Wisdom.

Our Body is a Temple
1 Corinth. 6:19-20
For our body is a temple. In the temple is where the Holy Ghost is allowed to reside. We wish for the Holy Ghost to reside with us as well. Just like how God owns the temples, he owns our bodies which He made for us. I think it would be a disrespect to Him if we were to defile our bodies in any way, shape, or form.

D&C 63:16
Those who lust in their heart or mind have committed adultery. And those who do so will not have the Spirit to be with them but it will be void in their lives. Those who don't even commit adultery who have lustful thoughts will still not have the Spirit with them. For all emotion takes over the mind if the thoughts are allowed to persist, and the Spirit is completely shut out. So let our minds and hearts be centered around God.

Condemn Then Forget
D&C 42:22-25
This scripture not all teaches to forsake adultery but to also forgive those that have done it. This will be hard because this is a huge sin and something not easily cast aside. But someone who repents with all their heart, forsake it, and doesn't do it anymore will be forgiven.
