"In
our Heavenly Father’s great priesthood-endowed plan, men have the
unique responsibility to administer the priesthood, but they are not the
priesthood. Men and women have different but equally valued roles. Just
as a woman cannot conceive a child without a man, so a man cannot fully
exercise the power of the priesthood to establish an eternal family
without a woman. In other words, in the eternal perspective, both the
procreative power and the priesthood power are shared by husband and
wife. And as husband and wife, a man and a woman should strive to follow
our Heavenly Father.The Christian virtues of love, humility, and
patience should be their focus as they seek the blessings of the
priesthood in their lives and for their family.
It
is crucial for us to understand that Heavenly Father has provided a way
for all of His sons and His daughters to have access to the blessings
of and be strengthened by the power of the priesthood. Central to God’s
plan for His spirit children is His own declaration: “This is my work
and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39)."
