YW Lesson 6: Sharing Work in the Home
After my husband and I married, we were faced with the challenge of trying to blend two families into one. Nothing seemed to work. There were seven strong personalities that had to adjust to each other, fractured egos that wouldn't give in to each other's needs, and jealous rivalries all jammed into one big trying-to-be-happy family. Many times the bickering made me fear that it just wasn't going to work. The emotional strain was getting to be too much.

YW Lesson 8: Improving Communication Skills
Listening to and loving our parents can make a big change for the better in our families. When I was younger I thought my parents spoke a different language than I did. Now that I'm older, I realize they probably thought the same thing about me. Somehow, to them, "I want to go to a party on...
YW Lesson 7: Living in Love and Harmony
A sister can be a friend, an example, and someone who shares your beliefs. There are 12 young women in the Riverside Ward, Columbus Ohio Stake. Just 12. But in that small group, eight of the girls are sisters--four sets. And best of all, these sisters are great sisters, good to each other...

YW Lesson 5: Home Environment
By developing a mother heart, each girl and woman prepares for her divine, eternal mission of motherhood. I have often heard my father describe my mother as a woman with a "mother heart," and that is true. Her mothering influence has been felt by many hundreds, perhaps thousands of people,...
YW Lesson 4: Obeying Commandments Helps Us Fulfill Our Divine Roles
You are daughters of the Almighty. Limitless is your potential. Magnificent is your future, if you will take control of it. Thank you for that beautiful hymn. Thank you for your prayers; thank you for your faith; thank you for what you are. Young women of the Church, thank you so much. And...
YM Lesson 3: Building the Kingdom of God
"If He should require me to give all I possess unto him, I wish to feel that it should be done cheerfully and willingly." Joseph F. Smith (1838-1918) Sixth President of the Church "If He should require me to give all I possess unto him, I wish to feel that it should be done cheerfully...
YW Lesson 2: Spiritual Gifts
Spiritual gifts are given as a blessing and benefit for those who love God and keep His commandments. The phrase "return with honor" is a very clear description of the purpose of life here in our mortal probation. In our premortal state in heaven, we lived in the presence of God the Father;...
YW Lesson 1: Drawing Closer to Jesus Christ
A testimony of Jesus Christ is a priceless blessing. What better time than Christmas to learn more about the Savior and grow closer to Him? If you really want to have faith in and know Christ, try these suggestions on building your personal testimony: A testimony of Jesus Christ is a priceless...
YW Lesson 49: Delegating Responsibility to Others
It is a humbling experience to study about and then share with others one's thoughts on the leadership qualities of the Savior. President Spencer W. Kimball said: "There are far more things to be said about the Lord Jesus Christ's remarkable leadership than any single article or book could possibly cover. ... All the ennobling, perfect, and beautiful qualities of maturity, of strength, and of courage are found in this one person" (Ensign, Aug. 1979, pp. 5, 7).
YW Lesson 48: Short-Range Goals as Stepping-Stones
Diversity and choice are not the weightier matters of the law. The weightier matters are love of God, obedience to His commandments, and unity in accomplishing the work of His Church. The book of Matthew contains the Savior's denunciation of the scribes and Pharisees: "Ye pay tithe of mint...
YW Lesson 47: Encouraging the Development of Talents
Creative work is sweet, but it is work. Sometimes the best way to get inspired is simply to get busy. Someone once said to a hesitant, prospective woodcarver who didn't know quite how to begin, "Start making some chips!" Our first feeble attempts at creativity are often no more than that....
YW Lesson 46: The Purpose and Value of Education
My dear sisters and brothers, aloha! What a joy it is to be with you today, feeling the strength of our sisterhood in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are met as women with a purpose, as sisters in the Relief Society, which is the Lord's organization for women. I, with this wonderful choir, plead that we may all come to Christ and find rest in his eternal love.
YW Lesson 45: The Value of Work
The best antidote for worry is work. The best medicine for despair is service. The best cure for weariness is to help someone even more tired. There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle...
