I realize now that such little tiffs are not uncommon in the early stages of most marriages. However, I believe they are representative of the many obstacles that can frequently interfere with the tremendous potential for fulfillment and happiness that exists in an eternal marriage, potential that too often goes unrealized.

Don't only evaluate the potential downside of action. It is equally important to measure the atrocious cost of inaction. If you don't pursue those things that excite you, where will you be in one year, five years, and ten years? How will you feel having allowed circumstance to impose itself upon you and having allowed ten more years of your finite life to pass doing what you know will not fulfill you? If you telescope out 10 years and know with 100% certainty that it is a path of disappointment and regret, and if we define risk as the "likelihood of an irreversible negative outcome," inaction is the greatest risk of all.

Everything has a price. There is a price to pay for success, fulfillment, accomplishment, and joy. There are no freebies. If you don�t pay the price that is needed for success, you will pay the price of failure. Preparation, work, study, and service are required to achieve and find happiness. Disobedience and lack of preparation carry a terrible price tag.

The Apostle Peter testified that �the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering� toward us (2 Peter 3:9). In this age of one-hour dry cleaning and one-minute fast-food franchises, it may at times seem to us as though a loving Heavenly Father has misplaced our precious promises or He has put them on hold or filed them under the wrong name. Such were the feelings of Rachel.

But with the passage of time, we encounter four of the most beautiful words in holy writ: �And God remembered Rachel� (Genesis 30:22). And she was blessed with the birth of Joseph and later the birth of Benjamin. There are millions on earth today who are descendants of Joseph who have embraced the Abrahamic promise that through their efforts �shall all the families of the earth be blessed, even with the blessings of the Gospel, which are the blessings of salvation, even of life eternal� (Abraham 2:11).

When heaven�s promises sometimes seem afar off, I pray that each of us will embrace these exceeding great and precious promises and never let go. And just as God remembered Rachel, God will remember you. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ

Those who are sealed in holy temples and who faithfully keep their covenants will receive God�s glory, which �shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever� (D&C 132:19).

Sometimes, in our earthly impatience, we may lose sight of the Lord�s precious promises and disconnect our obedience from the fulfillment of these promises. The Lord has declared:

�Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?

�I command and men obey not; I revoke and they receive not the blessing.

�Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above� (D&C 58:31�33).
