Can you tell me the role that marriage plays in Mormon culture?
<|assistant|>
Marriage has always been viewed as an important and sacred commitment in Mormon culture. In Mormon belief, marriage between a man and a woman is a covenant that lasts for eternity and is essential for exaltation in the celestial kingdom. Marriage also serves as a means to build connections within the greater Mormon community as individuals and families strive to obey Church teachings, support each other, and spread the teachings of the Church through missionary efforts. Additionally, Mormons place a high value on family traditions and celebrations, as these are seen as opportunities to share faith, create meaningful connections, and pass along important values and beliefs to successive generations.
