Raising children requires more skill than other challenges

"In my opinion, the teaching, rearing, and training of children requires more intelligence, intuitive understanding, humility, strength, wisdom, spirituality, perseverance, and hard work than any other challenge we might have in life. This is especially so when moral foundations of honor and decency are eroding around us. For us to have successful homes, values must be taught, and there must be rules, there must be standards, there must be absolutes."

- President James E. Faust, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, "A Thousand Threads of Love," Ensign, Oct. 2005, 3
