Men and Women are both precious beings in the sight of the Lord. However he also gave them separate and beautiful talents to fulfill. To often these days we try to take away those gifts, or we downplay their importance.

There is a strict essence of equality in society today. With the demand for equality we begin to tear down the traits that Heavenly Father instilled to his children. The difference in man and woman is what makes their roles on this earth so unique and so wonderful. Differences do not make one individual more than another. Differences help us to learn how to love one another, they help us to learn from each other to be able to build and grow.

The role of a Mother and Father is very clear. The Family A Proclamation to The World States, "Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners."

Mothers and Fathers, Men and Women are equal partners. They can both develop these qualities of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love compassion and work. But the Fathers responsibility to provide and preside and the Mothers responsibility to nurture help them to become closer to the people the Lord intended them to be.

Now I do not mean to say that Fathers can not be nurturing and Mothers can not provide. I have met wonderful men and women who provide and nurture at the same time. But the roles are there and to instead of squishing them we should celebrate them. In celebrating them we also refrain from critiquing them. That is when equality takes place.

Well babes, I'm gonna attach two talks for you.
Have a great night!
