The Role of Fathers
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings
"Fathers are expected by God and His prophets not only to provide for their families but also to protect them. . . ." . . . On a day-to-day basis, fathers can and should help with the essential nurturing and bonding associated with feeding, playing, storytelling, loving, and all the rest of the activities that make up family life."
-- M. Russell Ballard, "The Sacred Responsibilities of Parenthood," Ensign, Mar. 2006, 30
