God's plan for families

[theplains]

I had a question about this article.

It said, "Although Adam and Eve enjoyed eternal marriage like our heavenly parents, they could not yet enjoy the
full blessings of family life."

When did Adam and Eve first experience joy in their marriage and how?

Thanks,
Jim

10 And in that day Adam blessed God and was filled, and began to prophesy concerning all the families of the earth, saying: Blessed be the name of God, for because of my transgression my eyes are opened, and in this life I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God.
11 And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.

Moses 5

According to Eve it's having children, knowing good and evil, and the joy redemption, that led them to experience joy.

According to the sentence you shared, Adam and Eve enjoyed possessing the covenant of eternal marriage the moment they were married, and perhaps even before they received it by ordinance, in anticipation of it. They enjoyed it by appreciating it with the wherewithal they had to appreciate it, which grew with their progress.

Wrong question. The question should be when did they first "enjoy the full blessings of family life"?

I'd say not until they had their first child, but maybe that's because I am a man and it seems to me that a wife doesn't enjoy the "full" blessings of family life until she becomes a mother of her own children.  That moment, to me, is when a couple goes from being only a couple to creating their own family, with each child increasing the size of the family.

The full blessings of family life are spoiling your Grandchildren rotten and sending them home to their parents.

I think you may mean spoiling your children (rotten?) and then sending them here (or to some other planet) to some mortals to then become their children.

Or something like that.

Oh...!!  I am just an old lady that wished I had some grandchildren!!

While my Grands were little we made sure the crayons stayed with their parents. My oldest Grand is 24 years old now. I need to stop telling my age.

All kinds of families now..held with love.  Some with families as a circle of friends..do they count in any plan?

Yes. We are all brothers and sisters in our Father's family. We simply add to that, if we want to...within the bounds our Father will allow.

In order to understand that process you have to studey the primeval history of mitochondrial component of the cell, how it migrated into the cell.

I think he's saying that Adam and Eve were actually components of the primordial soup...

Your Q. was "When did Adam and Eve first experience joy in their marriage and how?", I've answered "you have to study the primeval history of mitochondrial component of the cell,". Mitochondria is female originated part  of the cell, without it there would be no family.
