"those stretch marks and pooches and scars are the marks of a queen. Any ol' selfish princess can maintain the body she had at 17; a queen bears the marks of walking into the valley of the shadow of death hand in hand with the Savior, and coming out on the other side of the valley having brought forth a little human being.
In this mortal life, we are all subject to the law of opposition: we don't get something without giving something up. We give up our time for a paycheck. We give up our 20s for a mission and education. We women give up our "girlish figures" for the opportunity to partner with God in bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of our babies (who grow up too fast). All in all, that's not a bad choice at all!"
