• Principle of “full partnership” between woman and man in a marriage.

• Men and women possess specific attributes and divinely appointed responsibilities and fill equally essential roles in God’s plan.

• Differences do not override His eternal promises. “One has no greater possibilities for celestial glory than the other in the eternities.”

• Husband and wife must “become one in thought, desire and purpose with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, leading and guiding the family unit together”

• The responsibilities of husband and wife to nurture and preside are opportunities, not exclusive limitations. “One person may have a responsibility for something but may not be the only person doing it.”

• Sometimes one may have to play both roles in the family – Lord helps.

• “As women and men work together in a true and equal partnership, we will enjoy the unity taught by the Savior as we fulfill the divine responsibilities in our marriage relationships.”
