If this is the case, when I wrote in my previous post that the 2nd being in Joseph's Vision could have been the Holy Ghost, it may be more accurate to say that it was the male component or representative of the Holy Ghost.
On the surface, if one were to assume that the Holy Ghost did consist of a man and woman, it would seem natural that this would be a husband-wife type relationship. Or at least I probably initially thought so. However, my current thoughts are that this isn't the case, and they dyad actually consists of a brother and sister. I am thinking something like twins... kind of like Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.
Further, their relationship with Jesus may be why the Holy Ghost is said to have the role it does in uniting Men back with him.
To say more, I think their relationship as brother and sister goes back to a time long before this one. Who were their parents at that time? Well, I think they were literal children of God (by God I mean Jesus, or Eru-Illuvatar, in other tales, which is a different view than would be found in traditional Mormon theology). Each of them married a spouse joining other Houses or families to Jesus' own house, and then creating and extending God's literal family.
In another age and time closer to our own, this brother and sister would also be born to beings we would know by the names of Abraham and Sarah, though we can't really look to the bible to really see this. As such, Abraham's family also will be led back to and joined with Jesus' family through these two beings.
It is and will be their role to both restore God's family that was (and always will be!), and invite others to be 'born again' into that family, the drama of this Earth not only serving to vanquish evil but extend even further God's literal family through the Holy Ghost.
