Woman was given to man as an helpmeet. That complementary association is ideally portrayed in the eternal marriage of our first parentsโAdam and Eve. They labored together; they had children together; they prayed together; and they taught their children the gospel together. This is the pattern God would have all righteous men and women imitate.
Ezra Taft BensonThere are some who apparently feel that the fight for freedom is separate from the Gospel. They express it in several ways, but it generally boils down to this: Just live the gospel; there's no need to get involved in trying to save freedom and the Constitution or stop communism....

No we should not, because our stand for freedom is a most basic part of our religion.
