"Generally there are husbands for most young women. There might be an occasional young woman who does not find her companion, but there is little excuse for the normal young man. I tell young women who seem to have missed their chance for desirable marriage that they should do all in their power to make themselves attractive physically in dress and grooming, mentally in being knowledgeable on many subjects, spiritually in being responsive, emotionally in being genuine and worthy. And if one fails to find a companion after having done everything possible, then there will be provision for her in eternity."
Spencer W. Kimball (1973)

"Girls, while your boyfriends are preparing to earn a living and provide for a family, you have the responsibility to learn something, too. In school, yes, but outside as well. You need to learn how to cook. you don't live on love very long - it is necessary for meals ot be prepared. You have no doubt heard about the couple that got married. She baked her first biscuits. The young man tried to bite into one somehow, but finally dropped it on his plate, looked at his wife and said, 'Dear, I surely wish you could make biscuits like my mother.' She just looked right back at him and quipped, 'Yes, dear, and I surely wish you could make dough like my father.' I hope that in your homes you girls will learn how to cook and sew and manage. There is some good advice found in a welfare bulletin which says: Fix it up, or wear it out, Make it do, or do without. It has been said that whether you have a 'goose egg' or a 'nest egg' depends on the 'chick' in the nest."
