“According to gospel doctrine, the difference between woman
and man does not override the eternal promises God has for His sons and
daughters. One has no greater possibilities for celestial glory than the other
in the eternities. The Savior Himself invites all of us to come unto him and
partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him. In this
context, we are all considered equal before Him. When spouses understand and
incorporate this principle, they do not position themselves as president or
vice president of their family. There is no superiority or inferiority in the
marriage relationship, and neither walks ahead of or behind the other. They
walk side by side, as equals, the divine offspring of God. They become one in
thought, desire, and purpose with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, leading
and guiding the family unit together.” – Elder Ulisses Soares
