Why can't the woman go out and provide?

I don't have all the answers, but I know the fundamental basics.
A Man and a Woman are exalted together. The highest exaltation is not obatained as an individual.
A righteous marriage is exalting. There are lessons to be learned.

Okay from another direction. Do you feel its okay for the man to stay at home with the kids while the woman goes out and provides?

Re: LDS Church: Sexist?
In regards to "respect", Mormons love to attack the cross that many christians and catholics wear.Jason Bourne wrote:I do not wear funny inderwear[sic]. The fact that you cannot look tothe symboloc nature of a religous garment reflects your level of immaturity. The fact that you mock other for it relfect on it further.
Your underwear are funny. The fact that you regard them as sacred is hilarious. You do understand the origins of the Mormon temple garments, right? The masonic square and compass? The changing style and requirements to wear them does not cause you to question the purported divinity of them?
If you cite the rote answer of Adam and Eve wearing GARMENTS, just like yours, I will loose the small amount of respect I have gained for your more realistic (a.k.a. liberal) views on Mormon doctrine.

So then what about the barren women who cannot bear children, and cannot afford to adopt? Are they just wasting their time here?Gazelam wrote:The only thing we take with us into the next life is progeny.

Think about it.

So then how would you feel if you're wife got a great job and needed you to stay home with kids? Would stay home or would that be too emasculating?

One of life's most important lessons is to learn to be able to speak beyond platitudes.

Hi Gaz
Why do you think the only thing you take with you into the next life is progeny? I've never heard this before. What about all the lessons you learned here? Relationships (at least those who have been sealed to you), increased knowledge, etc. etc. etc.?
There is no one on the planet who is more passionate about taking care of one's children than I. What I think is so sad is the virtual elimination of fathers in this picture. The research is consistent and strong that children do better with fathers involved in the lives of their children. The more the father is involved the better. There is no question about this.
We have completely learned this from evolution with the amazing invention of male parental investment but even without an understanding of history and the evolution of humankind, we have research to prove this.
Why not have both parents raise children in the best way possible? Why not have a couple decide how they can best manage and care for their children? This idea that a woman must stay home and take responsibility for the raising of children speaks of fathers who do not want the responsibility and stress, and husbands who don't want their wives participating in society in any meaningful way.
