To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Mormon women have a purpose on this earth. Heavenly Father has designed us to be wives, mothers, then women. Some women would have us believe Heavenly Father has it backward. The prophets foretold a long time ago that marriage would be under fire; that children would be in danger if left to their own devices; […]
When my husband and I were first married we belonged to a ward that was affectionately referred to as “Newly wed and Nearly dead”. It’s funny, now years later, we are in a similar ward where we are closer to the nearly dead members. Oh well, what goes around comes around, right? There are a […]
Last Mother’s Day, I invited Katie Covey Mangus to share the talk she gave at our Sacrament Meeting, because I thought it was brilliant, and asked if I could post it here on this site. You’ll see why for yourself as I have reposted it below for you to enjoy again. One short year later […]
Susa Young Gates was a formidable woman, and I look forward to the day I can visit and talk with her. She spoke strongly about the responsibility mothers have of teaching their children the gospel. Being the first editor of the Young Woman’s Journal, she was free to speak her mind on pretty […]

Sister Dalton spoke on virtue, divine nature, and individual worth; enhancing our softer, feminine side. She said multiple times how we are […]
In Feb. 1972, for the General Women’s Meeting, Harold B. Lee, then President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, spoke about Motherhood.
