Gender and the Family


This week we have been talking about gender and family life. I love this quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley that states; “In His grand design, when God first created man, He created a duality of the sexes. The ennobling expression of that duality is found in marriage. One individual is complementary to the other. As Paul stated, “Neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord” (1 Cor. 11:11)There is no other arrangement that meets the divine purposes of the Almighty. Man and woman are His creations. Their duality is His design. Their complementary relationships and functions are fundamental to His purposes. One is incomplete without the other.”  
Men and women have different tendencies and roles in this life but together they complete each other and can build a family of balance. Women are no less important than men and men no less important than women. Children depend on both parents to learn and grow. I love The Family: A Proclamation To The World when talking about marriage and gender. Proclamation to the World

What are your thoughts about how gender plays a role in family life?
