I'm not trying to contradict you or oppose you.  I just don't believe Christ is a ministering angel because he's single. 

Neither do I.

Please select from the following 4 choices.  a)  Jesus is single and happy serving others as a ministering servant.  b)  Resurrected Jesus married Mary Magdalene in heaven after she died and God the father performed the sealing personally at his house near Kolob.  c)  In 2006 after Dale Bills announced that Jesus being married was not doctrinal, President Hinckley and his wife Marjorie were disturbed by the deseret news article checked church records and sure enough - the sealing of Jesus to Mary magdalene had not been performed.  Quickly they performed the proxy sealing in the St. George temple on April 6, 2007.  d)  There is a loop-hole to D&Cov 131:2 for Gods.  Jesus is God from eternity to all eternity and does not need marriage or sealing to receive the highest exaltation.  

Very amusing! How about "None of the Above"?  If Heavenly Father has a partner we refer to as Heavenly Mother, as Eliza Snow seemed to believe, and that hymn of hers is still canon (is it?), and nobody else seems to be worthy of exaltation without an eternal partner, then God's house being a house of order, I reject the idea that there is a loophole for Gods.  "For thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness" seems to militate against any kind of exception or exemption.

congratulations on remarriage - love is beautiful.  With a focus on truth, relief, love, friendship, beauty and goodness, many diverse communities can contribute to and lift one another.  [THE GRAND FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MORMONISM],  https://www.sunstonemagazine.com/pdf/141-32-41.pdf  Hopefully, "that same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there".  

Amen

This new focus on everyone being a part of the priesthood seems pretty simple but in reality it's a major shift in thinking and it's going to take a while for older women (who were taught something different in old YW lessons) to wrap their heads around it.

There would be no need for the older women to wrap their minds about the new LDS focus if they 
accepted the teachings of the Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 2:5,9.  While the Old Testament restricted 
the priesthood to men, the New Testament teaches female believers are members of the royal
priesthood.
