Young Women Manual1, pg. 66; “Help the young women understand that to achieve their divine potential, they must enter into celestial marriage with a righteous priesthood bearer. They should realize the integral part they play in God’s eternal plan, along with a righteous man who bears the priesthood. Man is essential to woman, and woman is essential to man.”

Romans 3:10-11; “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”

Marriage is not essential to anyone’s salvation – male or female.
