2. Increase your understanding of and appreciation for womanhood. Read Proverbs 31:10-31 and two talks on womanhood from a conference issue of the Church magazines. Review what “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” says about being a wife and mother.

Practice keeping your baptismal covenants. Begin by doing something each day to help you remember the Lord Jesus Christ. After two weeks record your experience in your journal.
