116. “that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children”

116. 「一男一女之間的婚姻是神所制定，而家庭是造物主為祂子女永恆目標所訂計劃的核心。」

117. [“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2010, 129].

117. （「家庭：致全世界文告」，2010年11月，利阿賀拿，第129頁）

118. This keynote sentence of the proclamation teaches us much about the doctrinal significance of marriage and emphasizes the primacy of marriage and family in the Father’s plan.

118. 家庭文告中的此一主旨，教導了我們許多有關婚姻在教義上的重要涵意，並強調了婚姻與家庭在天父的計劃中占有首要地位。

119. Righteous marriage is a commandment and an essential step in the process of creating a loving family relationship that can be perpetuated beyond the grave.

119. 正義合法的婚姻是一項誡命，也是一項必要的步驟，使我們得以營造出一種充滿著愛，且能超越死亡、持續到永恆的家庭關係。

120. Two compelling doctrinal reasons help us to understand why eternal marriage is essential to the Father’s plan.

120. 教義上有兩個很重要的理由有助於我們了解，永恆婚姻為何是天父計劃中不可或缺的一環。

121. Reason 1: The natures of male and female spirits complete and perfect each other, and therefore men and women are intended to progress together toward exaltation.

121. 理由一：男女靈體的特質是相輔相成的，因此，男女要一起進步，邁向超升。

122. The eternal nature and importance of marriage can be fully understood only within the overarching context of the Father’s plan for His children.

122. 唯有在天父為祂兒女所訂的這項超然卓越的計劃中，我們才能充分了解婚姻的永恆本質和重要性。

123. “All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and … has a divine nature and destiny”

123. 『全人類，不論男女，都是照著神的形像所造，我們每個人都是天上父母所心愛的靈體兒女，……皆有神聖的特性及目標。』

124. [“The Family: A Proclamation to the World”].

124. 〔「家庭：致全世界文告」〕

125. The great plan of happiness enables the spirit sons and daughters of Heavenly Father to obtain physical bodies, to gain earthly experience, and to progress toward perfection.

125. 這偉大的幸福計劃使得天父的靈體兒女都能得到骨肉身體，獲取塵世經驗，邁向完全。

126. “Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose”

126. 『性別是每個人前生、今生和永恆身份及目的之基本特徵』，

127. [“The Family: A Proclamation to the World”]

127. 〔「家庭：致全世界文告」〕

128. and in large measure defines who we are, why we are here upon the earth, and what we are to do and become.

128. 這番話大致闡明了我們的身份、我們為何來到世上，以及我們應該怎麼做、成為怎樣的人。

129. For divine purposes, male and female spirits are different, distinctive, and complementary.

129. 為了神聖的目的，男女靈體各有不同，各有其獨特之處，且相輔相成。

130. After the earth was created, Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden.

130. 在地球被創造後，亞當被安置在伊甸園裡。

131. Importantly, however, God said it was “not good that the man should be alone” (Genesis 2:18; Moses 3:18), and Eve became Adam’s companion and helpmeet.

131. 然而很重要的是，神說『人獨居不好』（創世記2：18；摩西書3：18），於是夏娃成了亞當的伴侶和幫手。

132. The unique combination of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional capacities of both males and females were needed to implement the plan of happiness.

132. 男女在靈性、身體、情感，和精神上獨特的結合，是實行幸福計劃時所不可或缺的。

133. Alone, neither the man nor the woman could fulfill the purposes of his or her creation.

133. 男人或女人都無法單獨達成創造的目的。

134. By divine design, men and women are intended to progress together toward perfection and a fulness of glory.

134. 按照神的安排，男女是要一起進步，邁向完全及豐滿榮耀的。

135. Because of their distinctive temperaments and capacities, males and females each bring to a marriage relationship unique perspectives and experiences.

135. 由於男女各有其獨特的性格和能力，因此雙方都能為婚姻關係帶來特有的觀點和經驗。

136. The man and the woman contribute differently but equally to a oneness and a unity that can be achieved in no other way.

136. 男人和女人對於彼此的合一與成為一體所作的貢獻雖各不相同，卻同樣重要，這是無法用其他方法達成的。

137. The man completes and perfects the woman and the woman completes and perfects the man as they learn from and mutually strengthen and bless each other.

137. 一對男女只要互相學習、彼此鞏固，互為對方帶來祝福，則男人會使女人變得完整而完全，女人也會讓男人變得完整而完全。

138. “Neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 11:11; italics added).

138. 『照主的安排，女也不是無男，男也不是無女』（哥林多前書11：11）。

139. Reason 2: By divine design, both a man and a woman are needed to bring children into mortality and to provide the best setting for the rearing and nurturing of children.

139. 理由二：按照神的安排，要有男也有女，才能將子女帶到塵世，才能提供最好的環境來養育子女。

140. The commandment given anciently to Adam and Eve to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force today.

140. 神在古代賜給亞當和夏娃『生養眾多，遍滿地面』的誡命如今仍具效力。

141. “God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife. …

141. 『神已命令只有合法結婚、成為夫妻的男女，才能運用此神聖的生育能力。……

142. The means by which mortal life is created [are] divinely appointed”

142. 這種創造塵世生命的方法是神所制定。』

143. [“The Family: A Proclamation to the World”].

143. 〔「家庭：致全世界文告」〕

144. Thus, marriage between a man and a woman is the authorized channel through which premortal spirits enter mortality.

144. 因此，透過一男一女之間的婚姻把前生靈體帶到世上是經認可的管道。
