McConkie wrote: "The most important things that any member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ever does in this world are: 1) To marry the right person, in the right place, by the right authority; and 2) To keep the covenant made in connection with this holy and perfect order of matrimony— thus assuring the obedient persons of an inheritance of exaltation in the celestial kingdom."
