President Monson said to the priesthood brethren:

"I realize there are many reasons why you may be hesitating to take that step of getting married. If you are concerned about providing financially for a wife and family, may I assure you that there is no shame in a couple having to scrimp and save. It is generally during these challenging times that you will grow closer together as you learn to sacrifice and to make difficult decisions. Perhaps you are afraid of making the wrong choice. To this I say that you need to exercize faith. Find someone with whom you can be compatible. Realize that you will not be able to anticipate every challenge which may arise, but be assured that almost anything can be worked out if you are resourceful and if you are committed to making your marriage work...Priceless advice comes from a small framed plaque I once saw in a home of an uncle and aunt. It read, "Choose your love; love your choice." There is great wisdom in those few words. Committment in marriage is absolutely essential."

I know that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet.
