How can I ensure loyalty to my spouse?

"The crowning characteristic of love is always loyalty." This profound quote by Elder Jeffery R Holland invites any listener or reader to ponder more deeply how we should love one another. Loyalty suggests action. Maintaining a strong relationship with one's spouse is not accomplished merely by having affectionate feelings for that person. In order for a couple to stay riveted on one another, their love must be cultivated through acts of service, kind expressions, and words of endearment.

As such, we believe very strongly in the importance of families and that "Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. " (The Family: A Proclamation to the World). God has commanded from the beginning to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth "(Genesis 1:28)
