"Never speak bad about your spouse to anyone, even if you just had the
worst fight of your marriage. Refering to your wife as your 'old
lady' or 'ball and chain' , even just in jest, will make you think of
your
spouse in that manner instead of in the high esteem that he/she should
be thought of."
"God didn't say that a woman was to be taken from a bone in the man's head that she should rule over him, nor from a bone in his foot that she should be trampled under his feet, but from the bone in his side, to be his companion, his equal, and his helpmeet in all their lives together."
President George Albert Smith
"Brethren, love your wives...stay close to them and consider with them the family problems. And the Lord will bring down upon you blessings you have been unable to even imagine at this time."
