Men and Women Were Created to Complement One Another
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings
?In His grand design, when God first created man, He created a duality of the sexes. The ennobling expression of that duality is found in marriage. One individual is complementary to the other. As Paul stated, ?Neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord? (1 Corinthians 11:11). ?There is no other arrangement that meets the divine purposes of the Almighty. Man and woman are His creations. Their duality is His design. Their complementary relationships and functions are fundamental to His purposes. One is incomplete without the other.
-- Gordon B. Hinckley, The Women in Our Lives,? Ensign, Nov. 2004, 84
