Responsible?

In priesthood meeting today, the instructor quoted a general authority to the effect that the brethren are "accountable for every tear you have caused your wife to shed." He spoke for a while, then said he did not mind being accountable for his own sins, weaknesses and shortcomings, but he really did not want to be held accountable for the sins, shortcomings and weaknesses of others. My heart did flipflops. My mind spun around and I found myself whispering, "I do." Oh, how dearly I want to. I want to take on myself the sins, weaknesses and shortcomings of my wife, my children, all of my family, both descendents and ancestors, whether by genetics or by marriage and sealing. I want to take their sufferings upon myself so that they might not suffer, because I know of a certainty that One has taken my sufferings away and has overcome my sins, weaknesses and shortcomings. He has claimed me as His, and I want to claim them as mine.
