"In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners."
I am so grateful for this statement, because it says that the father shouldn't only provide and protect, and the mother shouldn't only nurture. Both spouses are meant to work together, to help each other. I'm sure marriage is wonderful. The happiest married people I know have told me or shown me so. I have also heard that it takes a lot of work. It takes your whole self. In fact, it takes two whole selves, two people giving it their all, to make a marriage and family succeed. I believe this can only happen when the husband and the wife are considered equal, side-by-side, and completely complimentary parts of a whole family.
