Temple Sealing Room

Salt Lake Temple Sealing Room
This sealing room is connected to the Celestial Room. It is one of many various-sized sealing rooms throughout the temple.

The sealing room is where couples are married.

The bride and groom, both dressed in white, kneel at the altar facing each other. Holding hands across the altar, the couple make covenants with God and each other to be faithful to each other and to God, and to keep His commandments.

Their families and friends sit behind them on either side. Mirrors are placed on the walls across from each other, so the couple can symbolically see themselves together through eternity.

Couples that are sealed in the temple by Priesthood Authority and in the name of Jesus Christ, and are faithful to their covenants, are set apart to be sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise for time and all eternity, not just "til death do they part".

"What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
-- Mark 10:9

The sealing extends to their children as well.

Families can be forever.
