What, if anything, does Church do to improve marriage?

During my 30 years of Church membership, I can't recall a specific incident when someone showed any type of discrimination towards me. The only thing that I still have to deal with is having to put up with spanish speaking RMs talking to me in spanish when we first meet. They just assume I speak spanish because I look the part. I do speak spanish and I chat with them.

that's pretty amazing. Maybe you look pretty white, or maybe you have thick skin.

I had a couple people at BYU come up to me and speak Spanish. Most of the racial insensitivity I experienced was of the ignorant kind, not the malicious kind. Offhand, I can't think of any malicious racism.

I am both thick skinned and brown in color.
