'After the earth was created, Adam was placed in the Garden
of Eden. Importantly, however, God said “it was not good that the man should be
alone” (Moses 3:18; see also Genesis
2:18), and Eve became Adam’s wife and helpmeet. The unique combination of
spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional capacities of both males and females
was needed to enact the plan of happiness. “Neither is the man without the
woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord” (1 Corinthians
11:11). The man and the woman are intended to learn from, strengthen,
bless, and complete each other.'
-Elder David A. Bednar, April 2013
