Another, from the archives of the Modern Offense Translation, Howard Hunter, October 1994:
"Being a Righteous Father and Husband"
Quote:
With a knowledge of the plan of salvation as a foundation, a man who holds the priesthood looks upon marriage as a sacred privilege and obligation.
A man who holds the priesthood shows perfect moral fidelity to his wife and gives her no reason to doubt his faithfulness.
A man who holds the priesthood has reverence for motherhood.
A man who holds the priesthood regards the family as ordained of God.
A man who holds the priesthood accepts his wife as a partner in the leadership of the home and family with full knowledge of and full participation in all decisions relating thereto.
You who hold the priesthood must not be abusive in your relationship with children.
You who hold the priesthood have the responsibility, unless disabled, to provide temporal support for your wife and children.
We urge you to do all in your power to allow your wife to remain in the home, caring for the children while you provide for the family the best you can.
A man who holds the priesthood leads his family in Church participation so they will know the gospel and be under the protection of the covenants and ordinances.
Take seriously your responsibility to teach the gospel to your family through regular family home evening, family prayer, devotional and scripture-reading time, and other teaching moments.

Applying Cougarguards' Julie Beck Doctrine, if you fall short in any degree in any of these areas, you are NOT a righteous father and husband.
Time to be offended again. Some of you are professionals at it.
