*Understand the doctrine related to temple ordinances, especially the significance of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
*While participating in temple ordinances, consider your relationship to Jesus Christ and His relationship to our Heavenly Father. This simple act will lead to greater understanding of the supernal nature of the temple ordinances.
*Always prayerfully express gratitude for the incomparable blessings that flow from temple ordinances. Live each day so as to give evidence to Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son of how very much those blessings mean to you.
*Schedule regular visits to the temple.
*Leave sufficient time to be unhurried within the temple walls.
*Rotate activities so that you can participate in all of the ordinances of the temple.
*Remove your watch when you enter a house of the Lord.
*Listen carefully to the presentation of each element of the ordinance with an open mind and heart.
*Be mindful of the individual for whom you are performing the vicarious ordinance. At times pray that he or she will recognize the vital importance of the ordinances and be worthy or prepare to be worthy to benefit from them.
*Recognize that much of the majesty of the sealing ordinance cannot be understood and remembered with one live experience. Substantial subsequent vicarious work permits one to understand much more of what is communicated in the live ordinances.
*Realize that a sealing ordinance is not enduring until after it is sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise. Both individuals must be worthy and want the sealing to be eternal.
