They were married in 1972 in the Provo Utah Temple, raised their two daughters in Illinois, have been foster parents to many children and youth, and are delighted as they now welcome grandchildren to the family.

Prior to her call as Relief Society General President, Sister Bingham served as First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency and member of the Primary General Board.
