"Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose."
—The Family: A Proclamation to the World
A gender role is a theoretical construct in the social sciences and humanities that refers to a set of social and behavioral norms that, within a specific culture, are widely considered to be socially appropriate for individuals of a specific sex.
The Lord told Moses
that after the creation of Adam, “I, the Lord God, said unto mine Only
Begotten, that it was not good that the man should be alone; wherefore, I
will make an help meet for him” (Moses 3:18). Then Eve was created, and Adam and Eve became husband and wife. This is the Lord’s way; it is His perfect order.
Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president: “A plan of happiness given to us by our Father in Heaven has a part for His daughters. We have the female half to take care of, and if we don’t do our part, no one else is going to do it for us. The half of our Father’s plan that creates life, that nurtures souls, that promotes growth, that influences everything else was given to us. We can’t delegate it. We can’t pass it off to anyone. It’s ours. We can refuse it, we can deny it, but it’s still our part, and we’re accountable for it. There will come a day when we will all remember what we knew before we were born. We will remember that we fought in a great conflict for this privilege. How do we meet this responsibility? We daily put our energies into the work that is uniquely ours to do.
"The
title father is sacred and eternal. It is significant that of all the
titles of respect and honor and admiration that are given to Deity, he
has asked us to address him as Father."
—Father, Consider Your Ways
