Consider assigning a specific qualification to someone to report to the class.
First of all, it is God's desire therefore it is important that we obey the Lord's will in all things. Deacons are often called upon to serve in situations involving direct contact with women. The deacon's wife is valuable in assisting in these situations offering him wisdom and insight into meeting their needs. It also helps having someone to support his efforts through prayer.
As stated in the previous lesson, by designating men in specific roles and qualifying them as scripture requires, we are able to focus on teaching the gospel of Christ. When done according to God's plan, the Church will grow just as it did in the first century.
