What happens when an eternal marriage doesn\'t end up lasting for eternity? Like many children in the Church, Scott Sonnenberg grew up singing “I Love to See the Temple,” and “Families Can Be Together Forever.” That treasured ideal was shattered shortly after Scott returned home from his mission and his parents went through a divorce. He promised himself at the time that divorce would never ravage his own marriage—but, as he explains on this week’s podcast, that is exactly what happened. On this week\'s episode, Sonnenberg shares how he\'s navigated being a member of the Church when a forever family seems out of reach, and how the Atonement has given him hope through his trial.

“I think when we teach about how families are central to everything that we believe in, it’s about your family—whatever that family may be.”
