Lots of details about how sealing works.

Basically, being sealed to a spouse is essential for exaltation. It is also described as sufficient for exaltation, so long as one does not commit an unpardonable sin, here characterized as murder of an innocent (but not necessarily murder in the way that we normally think about it). Described that we will be made to suffer for our sins if we have been rebellious, but ultimately, will be exalted.

• Boyd K. Packer, “Come to the Temple,” Ensign, Oct 2007, 18–22

"The sealing ordinance is that ordinance which binds families eternally. Temple marriage is a sealing ordinance. Children born to couples sealed in the temple are born in the covenant. When a couple has been married in a civil ceremony and then sealed in the temple a year or more later, children not born in the covenant are sealed to the couple in a brief and sacred ordinance."

• James A. Cullimore, "What happens when a couple gets a temple divorce? What happens to the children in the next life?", New Era, Dec 1975

When a temple sealing is canceled, sealed children remain sealed to their parents.

• "If my parents were sealed in the temple and then got divorced, which one am I sealed to?", New Era, Aug 2015
