The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.

Summary

This quote suggests that the priesthood (or any long-term commitment) should be seen as a marriage. It implies that initially, individuals are infatuated or "fall in love" with a certain idea or role. However, over time, this love should evolve and transform into a different kind of love that may not be easily recognizable. It implies that sustained commitment requires a deeper and more mature understanding of love, one that transcends the initial romantic notions.
