▲ The Family Proclamation 30 Day Study - Day 1 ▲

I found an amazing guide to studying the Family Proclamation bit by bit, and since I was looking for something small to start up family scripture reading, which fell by the wayside when my husband started having to commute to work, this seems just right. Here is the link HERE.


Day 1.


Marriage is ordained of God

"We, The First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God."

We did a little talking about marriage and how all the children were born into a marriage and then we read and discussed the following scriptures.

Ephesians 5:22-33

King James Version (KJV)
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Genesis 2:24

King James Version (KJV)

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Proverbs 18:22

King James Version (KJV)
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord

1 Peter 3:1

King James Version (KJV)
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

We discussed each scripture as we read them (there were a few more, but since there are a LOT of scriptures on marriage I think you could find ones that suit your family).

This small study time lasted about 15 minutes, just long enough for a 4 year old heading up to bed time.
