I say to all of you the Lord has charged men with the responsibility to provide for their families in such a way that the wife is allowed to fulfill her role as mother in the home.
Second, you have a sacred responsibility to provide spiritual leadership in your family.
Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessons the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training and loving their children.
As the patriarch in your home, you have a serious responsibility to assume leadership in working with your children. You must help create a home where the Spirit of the Lord can abide. Your place is to give direction to all family life. You should take an active part in establishing family rules and discipline.
Ezra Taft Benson, General Conference, October 1987
