In most churches, the minister will pray publicly, give sermons, counsel others, and plan programs. Priesthood is a service position, not a power position, and Mormons have many, many ways to serve. There are many positions to fill and nearly everyone holds a position. However, since they make important decisions through prayer, they seldom reach those sorts of impasses.Ĭhurch leadership is all done by laymen, with roles changing regularly. When he has the final decision, church teachings on respect for wives mean he will usually decide to do things her way. If they come to a complete deadlock, the wife often chooses to turn it over to her husband, but this only increases the likelihood she will get what she wants. When a decision needs to be made, the husband and wife make it together. Husbands and wives are considered equal partners in the home. It is his responsibility to live as morally as possible so he sets the proper example and pattern for the home. To preside, in Mormon terms, means to lead by example. The husband presides over the home as the priesthood holder, but this does not mean he is the boss.
