Good point, nermalcat.

So then, ltbugaf, why do they not just say, “I am glad my husband is righteous”?

I think those women said that about their husbands simply because their men are not philandering alchoholics. Not really the proper criteria in my opinion of course.

That’s fine too. The fact that a non-priesthood holder can be righteous doesn’t mean that being righteous is not a way of honoring the priesthood.

How about just a righteous man?

It’s called a man without the priesthood being righteous.

So what is it called when the man is righteous but doesn’t hold the priesthood?

The original post asks, "Does it mean to be righteous? Women can be righteous, so that canâ€t be it." I don't see how that follows. The fact that woman can be righteous doesn't mean that a man's righteousness is not honoring his priesthood.

It certainly doesn’t clarify why these women think their husbands honour their priesthood. I think it is a rare thing to see an elder aggressively searching for service opportunities.

That being said, Elder Clarke did state that these were suggestions to better honour our priesthood, implying that there are other ways that are worse to honour the priesthood. What ways are those?

Perhaps the remarks made by Elder Russell M. Nelson, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, during and April 1993 General Conference Preisthood Session will add insights your question: “How does one honour[sic] his priesthood?”
