Hello, I'm Susan Hinkley.

And I'm Cynthia Wynward.

And this is at last she said it.

We are Women of Faith discussing complicated things. and the title of today's episode is

still talking about patriarchal blessings.

Because apparently we went a little long-winded on our first episode.

That's shocking, Cynthia, it never happens.

Shocking.

But today's the real treat because we get to hear from all of our amazing

listeners and what they called in to say about them.

Exactly.

All right, here we go.

Let's hear our voicemails about marriage.

I married in the temple at age 19.

When I received my blessing at 39, my husband had not been active for 20 years or honored his

priesthood.

And here's the sticky part of my patriarchal blessing for me.

It states,

blend with the priesthood holder to whom you have been sealed.

Yea, be close to him.

Do not live in antagonism, live in warmth, love, and giving, for he has strengths

that you need, and you have talents and strengths to fulfill his potential.
