"Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation."
I am very grateful for this statement in the Proclamation. God understands our individual circumstances. This statement tells me that I should not feel pressured into trying to fit some "perfect" or "ideal" mold that I see in that Jones family over there that doesn't seem to have any problems.
Furthermore, it should be made clear that this statement is referring to the roles of mothers and fathers in the home. Previous statements have said that fathers should preside, provide, and protect, while mothers should nurture. This isn't always entirely possible, and in such situations, individual adaptation is needed.
