Based on the author’s memorable general conference address, Marriage and the Parable of the Silverware presents a timeless message for couples of all ages. In this illustrated gift book, Elder F. Burton Howard relates the story of how his wife lovingly cared for the silverware they received as newlyweds, observing: ‘For years I thought she was just a little eccentric, and then one day I realized that she had known for a long time something that I was just beginning to understand. If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by. Eternal marriage is just like that.’
