Men, Women, and Covenants
"Every man and woman who is willing to serve the Lord and can qualify for a temple recommend makes covenants of obedience and sacrifice. Each is endowed 'with power from on high' (see D&C 95:8).
"Every elder and sister who receives a mission call is set apart to do the Lord's work, and each is given authority to preach the gospel of Christ.
"A man and a woman who enter into the full partnership of a covenant temple marriage share equally in the blessings of that covenant if they are faithful (see D&C 131:1-2). The Lord has said that their covenant will be in force after this life, and together they are promised power and exaltation (see D&C 132:19-20)."
