This week in Family Relations 160 the topic of gender differences was discussed.  Looking at gender differences from a gospel point of view is a good thing at BYU-I. It is always amazing to see how prophets warn us about principals before they become a big issue. The Proclamation to the World, which mentions gender differences, was announced in 1995. Gender roles have altered in many people’s minds since 1995. President Gordon B Hinckley addressed this issue when he stated, “In His grand design, when God first created man, He created 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 Corinthians 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”.    One of the articles that were assigned was titled, “Sisters Give Siblings Better Mental Health”. This article was given from a BYU-Provo news release. This article made me more grateful for my sisters!
