- The chaplain and his family serve as righteous examples to the military
community of their testimony of Christ.
- In the chaplaincy, the spouse plays a key role in the ministry and can
be a source of strength and encouragement to those who attend the chapel
programs as well as the family members in the unit.
- During periods of family separation when the military members are deployed,
the chaplain's spouse and family are frequently sought out for advice and
counsel. They become a source of strength for families left behind.
- The spouse sustains the family during times when the chaplain is deployed
with his unit.
- The chaplain's wife is encouraged to be involved in the local on-base religious
community as well as the officers' wives' activities.
- To the degree feasible, the children of the chaplain and his spouse are
encouraged to be involved with and serve as an example to the youth on the
base.
- Chaplains and their families should be active in their local ward or branch
and serve in callings that do not interfere with the chaplain's military
duties. They should be a source of strength and testimony to the members
of the Church.
