4. 1. Respect & Courtesy to Young Women
• "You young men must cultivate a
considerate attitude toward women
of all ages. The young women asked
me to tell you that they want you to
respect them and show them
common, sincere courtesy. Do not
hesitate to show your good
manners by opening a door for
them, taking the initiative in inviting
them on a date, and standing as
they enter a room."
– M. Russell Ballard, "Purity Precedes
Power," Ensign, Nov. 1990
5. 2. Gratitude to the Women in Your Life
• "You young men need to know that
you can hardly achieve your highest
potential without the influence of
good women, particularly your
mother and, in a few years, a good
wife. Learn now to show respect
and gratitude… Thank her and
express your love for her... The
influence of your mother will bless
you throughout life, especially when
you serve as a missionary.”
– Russell M. Nelson, "Our Sacred Duty to
Honor Women," April 1999
6. 3. Virtuous and Chaste in Word and Deed
• “Use language that uplifts,
encourages, and compliments
others. Do not insult others or
put them down, even in joking.
Speak kindly and positively
about others so you can fulfill
the Lord’s commandment to
love one another.”
– For the Strength of Youth
7. 4. Faithfully Attend to Priesthood Duties
• "I know the immense joy and
happiness that come from
loving, cherishing, and
respecting my precious wife with
all my heart and soul. May your
use of the priesthood and
treatment of the important
women in your life bring you the
same satisfaction.“
– Richard G. Scott, "Honor the
Priesthood and Use It Well,"
Ensign, Nov. 2008
8. 4. Faithfully Attend to Priesthood Duties
• “We who bear the holy priesthood
have a sacred duty to honor our
sisters. We are old enough and wise
enough to know that teasing is
wrong. We respect sisters—not only
in our immediate families but all the
wonderful sisters in our lives. As
daughters of God, their potential is
divine. Without them, eternal life
would be impossible.”
– Russell M. Nelson, "Our Sacred Duty to
Honor Women," April 1999
9. 5. Prepare for Marriage and Fatherhood
• “ALL HUMAN BEINGS—male and female—
are created in the image of God. Each is a
beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly
parents, and, as such, each has a divine
nature and destiny.”
• “…By divine design, fathers are to preside
over their families in love and
righteousness and are responsible to
provide the necessities of life and
protection for their families. Mothers are
primarily responsible for the nurture of
their children. In these sacred
responsibilities, fathers and mothers are
obligated to help one another as equal
partners.”
– The Family, A Proclamation to the World
10. 5. Prepare for Marriage and Fatherhood
• “In the celestial glory there are three
heavens…in order to obtain the highest, a
man must enter into …the new and
everlasting covenant of marriage.”
– Doctrine and Covenants 131:2
• The apostle Paul counseled: “Husbands, love
your wives, even as Christ also loved the
church, and gave himself for it” (Eph. 5:25).
• Start now to obey that commandment by…
– Respecting your mothers and grandmothers.
– Respecting your sisters and aunts.
– Respecting the women and young women in
your ward.
11. 6. Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother
• The 2,000 Stripling Warriors honored
their mothers:
• "Now they never had fought, yet
they did not fear death; and they did
think more upon the liberty of their
fathers than they did upon their
lives; yea, they had been taught by
their mothers, that if they did not
doubt, God would deliver them. And
they rehearsed unto me the words of
their mothers, saying: We do not
doubt our mothers knew it."
– Alma 56: 47-48
12. 6. Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother
• Our Savior honored his mother
• "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother...
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother,
Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple
took her unto his own home.“
– John 19: 25-27
13. 7. Be an example of the believers
• “Let no man despise thy youth;
but be thou an example of the
believers, in word, in
conversation, in charity, in
spirit, in faith, in purity.”
– 1 Tim 4:12
• Be a good example to your
friends and always show
respect for women.
14. 8. Keep the commandments
• "Let us speak about our worthy
and wonderful sisters, particularly
our mothers, and consider our
sacred duty to honor them...if one
dishonors the commandments of
God, one dishonors mother, and
if one dishonors mother, one
dishonors the commandments of
God.“
– Russell M. Nelson, "Our Sacred Duty
to Honor Women," April 1999
15. 9. Serve a Full-Time Mission
• “Missionary service is a priesthood
duty—an obligation the Lord expects of
us who have been given so very much.
Young men, I admonish you to prepare
for service as a missionary. Keep
yourselves clean and pure and worthy
to represent the Lord.”
– President Thomas S. Monson, As We
Meet Together Again, October 2010
• Young women in the Church are taught
to respect young men and encourage
them to serve a full-time mission.
• Young men can honor those young
women by faithfully serving a full-time
mission.
16. 10. Avoid Pornography
• “I warn against pornography. It is
degrading of women. It is evil. It is
infectious, destructive, and addictive.
The body has means by which it can
cleanse itself from harmful effects of
contaminated food or drink. But it
cannot vomit back the poison of
pornography. Once recorded, it always
remains subject to recall, flashing its
perverted images across your mind,
with power to draw you away from the
wholesome things in life. Avoid it like
the plague!”
– Russell M. Nelson, "Our Sacred Duty to
Honor Women," April 1999
