Father Is Head of the Family

To the comment, “My husband is not a member of the Church, nor does he respect it,” I with love and compassion answer: “Dear Sister, whether he is a member or not, he is still the father and head of the family. If he does not appreciate your burden, support him in his positive actions. Show him that you believe in and trust his ability to direct the family. Encourage him with noble examples.”
