Elder Richard G. Scott suggested that in a potential spouse we should look for essential attributes that bring happiness:
a deep love of the Lord and of His commandments, a determination to live them, one that is kindly understanding, forgiving of others, and willing to give of self, with the desire to have a family crowned with beautiful children and a commitment to teach them the principles of truth in the home. [“Receive the Temple Blessings,” Ensign, May 1999, 26]
