Eliot calls the greatest sin: to do the right thing for the wrong reason.

I knew I could not live my life around a husband, now would I want a husband to live his life around me. Of course, there are any number of variations in marital relationships between those extremes.

It will all unfold. Like any new behavior, happiness can be learned.

When we covenant to follow the Lord and obey His commandments, we accept His standards in every thought, action, and deed.
Russell M. Nelson
