Without the foundation of respect and trust, love cannot
grow.

Respect does not require agreement, but it does require
patience, kindness and boundaries.

Respect is always both affirming and validating. It always builds
up.

The Fortress thatProtects Love
![Page 14: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chastity is the fortress that protects love—love of God, love
of others and of self.
![Page 15: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Too often, our first impulse is to pleasure not purity.
![Page 16: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Keeping the law of chastity is critically important to the
stability of all our relationships.
![Page 17: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Chastity is first secured within the boundaries of thought and
intent.
![Page 18: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Inappropriate images, real or virtual, most often tempt men.
![Page 19: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inappropriate words, spoken or written, most often tempt
women.

High personal standards protectus from temptation.
![Page 21: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Those standards also encourage us to keep the commandments.
![Page 22: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Pride
![Page 26: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“Pride is a deadly cancer.It is a gateway sin.”—Dieter F. Uchtdorf
![Page 27: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The night of sin is always preceded by the dusk of pride.
![Page 28: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Pride is the fruit of disdain–disdain for others and for God.
![Page 29: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pride is self-deception and the first treason against self.
![Page 30: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Gratitude is the solvent that dissolves pride.
![Page 31: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You cannot feel grateful without also feeling humble.
![Page 32: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Humility opens the doorthat pride closes.
![Page 33: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Guilt
![Page 34: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Guilt often triggers pride.
![Page 35: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Guilt can provoke us to blame others for our troubles and to blame our behavior on others.
![Page 36: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Guilt offers us two choices:blame or personal responsibility.
![Page 37: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Guilt is a call to positive action,a call to positive change.
![Page 38: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Two Paths
![Page 39: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
We have a choice between two paths in our communication.
![Page 40: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Those paths start with eitherself-awareness and self-betrayal.

What path are you on inyour communication?
![Page 43: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Unmet Needs
![Page 44: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
“Jesus saw sin as wrong but also was able to see sin as springing
from deep and unmet needson the part of the sinner.”
—Spencer W. Kimball
![Page 45: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Nothing speaks louder to a person than their unmet needs.
![Page 46: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Unmet needs speak louder than laws, rules, commandments,
those who love us, the appeal of reason
or common sense.
![Page 47: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
We each must patiently discover how to meet those genuine
needs, either for others and for ourselves.

Children bring us joy justby being themselves.

Sin is despair, and despair is not being willing to one’s true self.

We cannot be completely at peace without being our true
selves.

Doubt is the servant of neglect.
![Page 57: Happy are Ye If Ye Do Them](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5570cc0bd8b42a1d358b4f1e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

We know what to do, but don’t always know how to do it.
