“The father has the authority and responsibility to teach his children and to bless and to provide for them the ordinances of the gospel and every other priesthood protection necessary. He is to demonstrate love and fidelity and honor to the mother so that their children can see that love.”

President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “These Things I Know,” Ensign, May 2013, 7.
