Mormon girls and women have as sensible ideas upon marriage as any people in the civilized world. They are thoroughly taught and instructed to consider well before accepting this sacred rite, and to choose wisely. More particularly are they cautioned in this regard, because, the covenants they make are not only for time, but reach into eternity. It is an important matter to make choice of a companion for this life, but how much more so does it become when the union is an eternal one.

The world says polygamy makes women inferior to men -- we think differently. Polygamy gives women more time for thought, for mental culture, more freedom of action, a broader field of labor... and leads women more directly to God
