Where there is love and co-operation in the home, there motherhood is sanctified and glorified by the presence and administrations of the Priesthood. Men and women together have a God-like status, for the Lord said male and female created he them in his own image.

Some have questioned our concept of a mother in heaven, but no home, no church, no heaven would be complete without a mother there. God entrusted children to men and women, and he will hold them jointly responsible for their care, their growth, for their guidance, their development and for piloting them over the rough and stormv seas of life into the harbor of immortality and eternal life.
