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!
