As I am in Primary now I don't go to Gospel Principals with my Husband, today on our way home he was telling me about a situation that came up in class that really annoyed him.
The situation was that they were discussing the different roles of men and women, there was an investigator in the class and he said something along the lines of "So men are better than women because they have a higher power."
Now this is not true and the Missionaries (who teach the class) tried to explain that men and women are equal and just have different roles, having the Priesthood does not outweigh the importance of rearing children etc, they tried to explain that both sexes are created equal.
At this point I'm not saying anything and just letting my Husband relay what happened to me, but I am pretty backed up because I am a firm believer in the two genders working together, not one above the other.
C continued the story, saying that the investigator, even after the Missionaries tried to explain goes "Yeah, but in the end men have more power than women."
This is one of the reasons why I love my Husband, it really annoyed him that this investigator couldn't let go of the "Men v Women" battle. C sees it as a partnership, not a fight. And the fact that he was offended by the remarks made in class shows me that he has a great amount of respect for our marriage.
I am so grateful that I have found myself an eternal partner that is not discriminate to me. Sure he may joke about it, but he never means it to offend.
He cooks, he cleans, he does his own washing sometimes when I'm too lazy, he does grocery shopping, he is really a wonderful man.
And I am so grateful that we have each other.
