Why I Am A Mormon Feminist…And Why I Won’t Tell You To Be One, Too

MR says: It takes a lot of courage to speak honestly and openly about your beliefs, especially when they might differ from those around you or other's expectations. But we all have felt or will feel isolated or misunderstood at some point in our experience within the Church. That's why we wanted to share this perspective, and ask that you not judge or criticize the honesty this author uses to express her feelings.

Latter-day Saint Psychologist: 4 Coping Skills We Can Learn from Women in the Scriptures

By Dr. David T. Morgan

In creating the world, God was organized and methodical. The foundations were built such that each step built upon the next. But when almost all the creative work was done, the Lord noted that Adam was alone: “And I, the Lord God, said unto mine Only Begotten, that it was not good that the man should be alone; wherefore, I will make an help meet for him…. And I, the Lord God, caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and he slept, and I took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in the stead thereof; And the rib which I, the Lord God, had taken from man, made I a woman, and brought her unto the man” (Moses 2:18, 21–22). It was clear that Adam, on his own, was unequal to the tasks ahead of him. He needed a partner. It was then that Eve was brought forth. It was only after her creation that the world was complete.

Exercising Patience for Peace with Tara Bench

In today’s world, patience is a virtue that seems to be diminishing. We have access to everything so rapidly. Every situation has a quick fix. Even waiting in the drive-thru feels like an imposition. But patience is an important attribute of a peacemaker. God has told us to “be still and know that I am God.” Perhaps we should take the time to slow down and be still, and even though that can be uncomfortable, what can we learn about patience as we make that effort?

Dealing with Infertility: The Lord Fulfills His Promises

As surely as I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God, I know that the Lord commanded me and my husband to embrace permanent childlessness. I have no doubts about whether or not that revelation came from the Lord, and that assurance only grows stronger as I witness His continued guidance in my life. Now, four years later, I am grateful to say that the Lord fulfills His promises.
