1: Remember, Being Single Does NOT Make You A Second-Class Mormon!

We live in a church that teaches the exaltation is a family matter. We understand and know that marriage is a requirement for exaltation. But there is often an untrue cultural undertone that if you are single then you are a second-class Mormon. That is simply not true, being single does not make you less of a child of God! Your Marital Status does NOT define your value in the Kingdom. There are many import and great things you can contribute as a Child of God!

“The sacred bonds of Church membership go far beyond marital status, age, or present circumstance. Your individual worth as a [son or] daughter of God transcends all.”
Ezra Taft Benson
