I love the Ordinance Ready feature that finds names for me that are ready to take to the temple, however, it only pulls up Ordinance for my same gender. I often go to the temple with my spouse and it would be nice if I could see the names for both genders in the Ordinance Ready section and print names for both of us at the same time.

    @Cari Maughan

    Cari

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

    You are not alone ...

    That is a FEATURE that MANY Users/Patrons who are Members of the Church have, yearned for; and, requested.

    We can ALREADY, "Print" the "Temple" Cards, for Ancestors of the opposite "Gender", to ourselves.

    We can do that ourselves, in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch", in the "Ordinances" 'Tab', of our Ancestors.

    We can (both, "Reserve"; and,) "Print", the "Temple" Cards for whichever "Gender" we desire, 'Male'; or, 'Female'; as, there is NO restriction.

    But ...

    That Said ...

    What you request is SOMETHING that "OrdinancesReady" was SPECIFICALLY designed NOT to be able to do.

    Please let me explain ...

    Please be aware that the "OrdinancesReady" feature/function/facility is ONLY, really, for a quick; and, easy, process of, FINDING; and, PRINTING, the "Temple" Cards, when one is going to visit the "Temple", that day or the next, when one DOES NOT have ANY "Temple" Cards, 'on-hand', available.

    The "OrdinancesReady" feature/function/facility is certainly NO substitute, for doing one's due diligence, well IN ADVANCE of visiting the "Temple" of, FINDING; and, PRINTING, the "Temple" Cards, for one's Ancestors, to have 'on-hand', available; regardless, of the "Gender".

    Hence, the reason, that we ONLY get "Temple" Work, for people, of the SAME "Gender", as ourselves, is a DESIGN Feature of "OrdinancesReady".

    Although, I totally understand your request.

    I would humbly suggest that, your request, may not be considered as appropriate, in view of the intended Design.

    Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

    How do I find family names for the temple with Ordinances Ready?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-find-family-names-for-the-temple-with-ordinances-ready 

    Where it states, among other things;

    Quote

    ------------------

    Ordinances Ready is designed to provide family name cards for the person signed in to the website or the Family Tree app. For example, if you are female, it only searches for ancestors who are likewise female so that you can perform their ordinances.

    ------------------

    And ...

    Where does Ordinances Ready get names?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/where-does-ordinances-ready-get-names 

    Where it states, among other things;

    Quote

    ------------------

    Ordinances Ready finds names for you that are your **** (that is, male names for male users and female names for female users).

    ------------------

    But ...

    That Said ...

    Who is to say things will not change in the future ...

    I know that this does not help; but, I hope this gives you some perspective.

    Brett
