Gender in Gods plan.

The Proclamation
Here is a link to The Family: A Proclamation To The World. It was read and then Published in 1995. It is not new Doctrine from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but a reminder to the world what God has told us from the beginning of man and woman. It is not meant to offend anyone but to show us what is the best circumstances for a family to live.
Of course their our examples of bad fathers or mothers that are not good examples of this in the works, but I would also point out that they may not be following other commandments of God or the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now here is an important statement from me; I would like to say that there are many, many, many wonderful single mothers and fathers, that are raising their children to be great adults and or followers of Jesus Christ. I was one myself for a few years after my divorce. So I feel I know what I am talking about. I can testify to all that it was much easier to teach and raise my children as a whole family than it was by myself. My point I am trying to make is that it can and is possible to raise our children as single parents, but for me it was necessary to have a woman as my partner.

Here is a short video from the Christ of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about moms.

Let me know if this video reminded you of your mom. My mom was not a member of the church, but she gave me the foundation of Jesus Christ as my Saviour and I thank her for this everday in my own way.

Love and miss you everyday Mom!
