I repeat that plea to all fathers. Yours is the basic and inescapable responsibility to stand as the head of the family. That does not carry with it any implication of dictatorship or unrighteous dominion. It carries with it a mandate that fathers provide for the needs of their families. Those needs are more than food, clothing and shelter. Those needs include righteous direction and the teaching, by example as well as precept, of basic principles of honesty, integrity, service, respect for the rights of others, and an understanding that we are accountable for that which we do in this life, not only to one another but also to the God of heaven, who is our Eternal Father….
With the obligation to beget goes the responsibility to nurture, to protect, to teach,
to guide in righteousness and truth. Yours is the power and the responsibility
to preside in a home where there is peace and security, love and harmony.
Gordon B. Hinckley
