Most of my family and friends know that I am a full time student at Brigham Young University-Idaho (BYU-I). For years I have felt compelled that I needed to get my education but never knew what to study. Honestly, all I ever wanted was to be a wife and a mom. I have never been the type of woman that yells and screams about equal rights and power in her career. Nonetheless, I have always believed that a woman has the right to be who ever and whatever she wants and for me, that decision was to be a wife and a mother. So having felt and believed this for most of my life, it then occurred to me; why not major in “Marriage and Family Studies?” It was an “Ah-ha” moment and I have dived right in.
So now that I have given you a brief background of why and what I am studying at BYUI, I will now tell you the purpose of this blog. For one of my marriage and family relations classes, we have been asked to create some type of project that centers on the importance of marriage and family. In 1995, the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (we has members of this church, regard the First Presidency as modern day Prophets and Apostles), issued a proclamation to the whole world about the importance of marriage and family. It is called:
The Family: A Proclamation to the Word (The Proclamation to the world)
We have been asked to center our projects on our beliefs as latter day saints and how they pertain to the proclamation. If you would like to read this proclamation, I provided the link above.My blog is NOT geared to any particular person nor is it intended to offend or preach to others who have made different choices in their lives or have different religious beliefs but rather, this blog is meant to share what family and marriage means to me and why I believe the way I do.
