I really like that we started things by discussing the three "p's" of the priesthood: Preside, protect and provide. My favorite part of that discussion was when we discussed how fathers are supposed to not only provide physical protection, but spiritual protection as well. One way they can do that is by controlling the media that is allowed in the home and taking the lead in teaching the gospel to the family. I think that was my favorite thing said in that discussion. In one stake conference my stake president said guys should make their wives righteous desires their righteous passions. One of my desires is to have positive media in my home that won't detract from the spirit and I want to marry someone that would support that desire and make it a passion.
This is the only Phineas and Ferb video I could find for dads.
We also talked about finances and all the things that families have to deal with. This is one thing that scares me, dealing with all the financial things. I only have a few right now, fortunately I don't have any debt and that is one thing I hope will help me after I get married. But the talk about finances made a good bridge into why couples both decide to work. I want to stay home and I feel that a mother's most important place is in the home and I believe that as long as I pay tithing and am wise with my finances the Lord will make sure my needs and my families needs will be taken care of.
