What are we all seeking, perhaps?

Is it not true that we all came from a pre-mortal state of living with God our Father, His son Jesus Christ, and all the other spirit children? (Perhaps even you, me, and our friends here on earth?! )

Now correct me if you feel I'm wrong in the following...

We might have just been a witness to God and His chosen companion relating (clean) with each other in heaven, perfectly and lovingly, with bodies of flesh and bone. When we were told that we would have the opportunity to become like Him and His companion, we 'shouted for joy'?!

The problem now is we're here on Earth with mortal bodies like God and His companion (half the item we witnessed), but 'a veil' over our minds has also been included! Thus, we do not 'remember' in this our ‘mortal state’ all the happenings in heaven, but our spirits, who are housed in these tabernacles of clay, do recall some, and thus long intuitively for that opportunity to gain the remainder of the promise given in heaven that caused such joy there.

So the question is what is it that we are all seeking?
For the ladies is it not (basically) a worthy man, priesthood holder, one who honors that priesthood, along with honoring his mother (first off), his sisters (second), his callings, the family, and all women in general? Who takes care of and strengthens his body and mind along with all the above?

For the men (basically) is it not a worthy woman, who respects men in general, loves her father, who also takes care of her mind and body, receives callings within the church with gladness, and who serves with the all the might, mind and strength she possesses?

In my opinion, they both should know and learn to cook and clean so that they might compliment the other, and instruct further with the intelligence they have gained. Counseling, with love, together on what the ‘best way’ is to accomplish their goals?

Do we not, or should we not, each seek to be one with the other in all things, serving each other with kindness and love? Giving the best we are able to the other in all things that we might reach and obtain that second half of the promise given in heaven?

All comments are welcome.
