Should I Start a Family?

-
                I think it is kind of hard to overstate the importance that a father has in his kids’ lives. If we look in the scriptures, fathers were essential even from the very beginning. Throughout time society’s view of a father has changed, but God’s plan and expectations for a father has always been the same. In class this week we talked quite a bit about fathers, as well as some of the blessings we see in our lives of having families.
