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
