David O. McKay Photo Album - Family Life

While the McKays lived on South Temple Street, a young couple arrived in a car, got out and then sat down on the McKay's front lawn. There, the young man proposed to the young lady. The young man said, "I want our married life to be as ideal as that of President and Sister McKay." President and Sister McKay were an extraordinarily happy couple. Their tenderness toward each other, their loyalty to each other, and their strong commitment to principles of family harmony inspired many husbands and wives to keep romance alive in their marriages.
