Moses 3 (Respect for Women)

In chapter 3 we learn about how God created Man and Woman. Everything that God created on Earth was previously created in the heavens. The main thing I want to point out from this chapter is that men need to realize that women were created out of our very own flesh. We need to respect them as we respect ourselves. I think there is a phenomenon that sometimes, (a lot of times), occurs in LDS households. Men disrespecting or demeaning their spouse. I have been guilty of this, I think we all have.

We as men and priesthood holders need to be reminded from time to time that the women in our lives were given to us to be a companion not a servant. I know that I have been blessed with a wonderful wife. I hope that she knows that I love her deeply and that I want nothing more than for her to be happy. Men please take the time to help your wives out. Express appreciation for all the things that they do for us. Alli's grandpa Art told me this when we got married, "when she burns the dinner, be thankful for the burnt offering." This is a great principle. I hope to be more thankful for the everyday things that Alli does for me and our boys. You are the best Alli. I am so lucky to have you as my wife. I love you.
