Understanding Your Latter-day Husband: A Guidebook for Women

As a newlywed, Marjorie Pay Hinckley, wife of church president Gordon B. Hinckley, said the following about her husband, “We loved each other, there was no doubt about that. But we also had to get used to each other. I think every couple has to get used to each other.” She also said, “Early on I realized it would be better if we worked harder at getting accustomed to one another than constantly trying to change each other—which I discovered was impossible. … There must be a little give and take, and a great deal of flexibility, to make a happy home.”The purpose of this guidebook is to help women “get used to their husband” or in other words, understand generally how men think and why they act the way they do; especially men who belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and who are striving to follow the teachings of modern church leaders.The desired outcome is for expectations and goals to be adjusted as needed to have a happy, loving, Christ-centered marriage that aligns with church teachings that will lead to exaltation. This is important because, “The most important things that any member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ever does in this world are: 1. To marry the right person, in the right place, by the right authority; and 2. To keep the covenant made in connection with this holy and perfect order of matrimony”.The target audience is those who have already married their Latter-day Husband, or LDH. However, single women will also find this information useful as they prepare to marry and interact with Latter-day Saint men.Read more
