- “We teach our daughters to look carefully for spiritual strength, dependability, consistency, kindness, and yes, ambition in young men they date and may choose to marry. I want my sons-in-law not only to lead out spiritually and provide a loving atmosphere for my daughters and grandchildren but to be industrious, hard working, to have goals in life, to be progressing toward something of worth in their profession or trade. I assume most fathers feel the same way.” Men of Influence, 23
- Jacob 2:31 -33…31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands. 32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts. 33 For they shall not lead away captive the daughters of my people because of their tenderness, save I shall visit them with a sore curse, even unto destruction; for they shall not commit whoredoms, like unto them of old, saith the Lord of Hosts.
- 2 Nephi 13:16 – 24…Moreover, the Lord saith: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet— 17…Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts. 18…In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments, and cauls, and round tires like the moon; 19…The chains and the bracelets, and the mufflers; 20…The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings; 21...The rings, and nose jewels; 22…The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins; 23…The glasses, and the fine linen, and hoods, and the veils. 24…And it shall come to pass, instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle, a rent; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a stomacher, a girding of sackcloth; burning instead of beauty.
