I am convinced that a family who is without a priesthood holder certainly benefits from the husband wife home teachers. I home teach with my husband, and it seems that it serves many purposes. Number one, we get to go together and because of that it is easier to schedule. Number two, we encourage each other to get it done. Number 4, we enjoy it so much, for a few reasons, we love the people we visit, we are together on what seems like a date, and we are doing what the Lord requires of us. Because we love it so much, it seems like the people we visit can feel that and also enjoy having us. We give the required message but also enjoy bonding with the family. We make sure that they are aware of any events coming up and offer rides if needed. We also let them know that we are there for them, and friends to them not just home teachers. It seems that we've been lucky enough to have people assigned to us that are always available. Not only do the sisters in these families get home taught but they still do get their visiting teachers. I some remote areas or in special circumstances under the direction of the bishop some sisters have received their home teaching message and their visiting teaching message on the same visit.
