Stewardship

I went to the temple on Friday night so I could get one last trip in before baby.  I paid a lot closer attention due to our discussions.  :)

When I left that night I was wondering a lot about stewardship.  We've talked about women's roles and whatnot, but the temple does indeed have parts that indicate men have an incredible stewardship/responsibility for their families.  For example, the new name.  We don't know our husbands but they know ours.

I haven't ever read about the priesthood with a husband's/father's role specifically in mind but I am curious about how that stewardship plays out or should play out in our home and in the eternities.

Does anyone have any good reading material about that?

Kelly,  I can't think of anything else we've done with the YW that would help you, but I am always trying to think of new ways to build the relationship between the two organizations.  In the handbook it says that one of a RS presidents main jobs is helping girls transition throughout their YW years into being RS members.

Everyone, this talk by Elder Bednar it is a game-changer.  For reals, man.  Read it.  Let me know what you think.
