so what happens to the folks that married in the temple, upheld our covenants and loved and cherished our husbands but then got walked out on. Better luck next time? or ive already made my covenants and continue to uphold them so im fine long as i strive to remarry.
im not being bitter, just a genuine question about exaltation that everyone avoids answering me about(i asked the bishop when my husband left me, he mumbled some stuff and meant well).

That is a really good question. Having been divorced myself, I think the only thing I can really draw on for an explanation is this... When I went to the Temple to be sealed to my ex-husband what struck me and probably made the most important impact in my life is that I new the promise I took out to be sealed in the Holy Temple was with Christ himself. The officiator at the alter was standing in as Christ and we were promising to Him that we would be sealed for time and all eternity

thats how i see it. good to see anouther member agree.
I figure that while im not perfect i did(and continue to do so) hold up my covenants and i do attend the temple and still uphold its commandments. Its just a hard time. Ive been through them before, this just affects my baby(im pregnant) so i feel worse about it(although losing a temple marriage is enough im sure).
I added you.
