We are attending the Marriage and Family relations course in our ward during Sunday School. It is wonderful. The instructor pretty much shows quotes and we discuss them. There is really no 'teaching.' Here is my favorite quote from today. I am not making a statement to men, it is simply a reminder to us Mommies who at times feel our tasks our menial and/or our needs should always come second.
“It was not meant that the woman alone accommodate herself to the priesthood duties of her husband or her sons. She is of course to sustain and support and encourage them.
“Holders of the priesthood, in turn, must accommodate themselves to the needs and responsibilities of the wife and mother. Her physical and emotional and intellectual and cultural well-being and her spiritual development must stand first among [their] priesthood duties.
“There is no task, however menial, connected with the care of babies, the nurturing of children, or with the maintenance of the home that is not [a husband’s] equal obligation” (“A Tribute to Women,” Ensign, July 1989, 75).
