Did you know two-thirds of the women in the Church are single? If I had the wish of my heart, I would fervently wish that all women would understand their worth and that regardless of marital status or any other characteristic, they absolutely belong in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—each and every woman! From age 18 to 108, each is a valued member of Relief Society.

One of the beauties of Heavenly Father’s plan is the uniqueness of individuals. Every person is of infinite value. We need all of your various backgrounds and experiences; those outlooks and perspectives create a richness that enhances every woman’s life and improves the effectiveness of our work. So often we feel we need to be like someone else in order to be valued. That is so, so wrong!

Whether you are single, divorced, married, widowed, or remarried, each of you is valued, and your capacity for leadership and spiritual strength is independent of your marital status. For each daughter of God, there is a personal mission and plan for you. Your path will be guided individually. Embrace the truth that your path may be different from others, and applaud others in their paths as well. By doing this, we’ll be able to move forward in unity. Oh how I love you wonderful women!
