Though I guess since he's talking about the hypothetical stability that comes from marriage and used the word assume... I know that the apostles now were raised in the 50's nuclear family, but we've known for a long time that being married doesn't make anything anymore stable than not being married.
There are plenty of us here that came from hetero/ married/mormon/families. We came out battered and beaten on many levels. We're spending our adulthoods trying to heal the disaster that combination brought into our lives.
Yes, Mia, my idiot parents followed Mormonism, dotting every i and crossing every t. Yet they were allowed to beat and scold their offspring. Mormon Mom cursed the day her babies were born. Mormon Dad beat and belittled his boys, calling them girls and babies for crying.
I know, let's have Oaks advise people on child-rearing!
I hope it's like Packer's "Why would our heavenly father do that to anyone" (referring to being born gay) that was subsequently retracted and not printed in the conference issue. Would be great to see them change "inspired" words from an "apostle" yet again. :)
