Introduction

I am creating this blog for one of my college Family classes. The objective for the class is to gain a deeper understanding of family values through the exploration of The Family: A Proclamation to the World, which was available to the world in 1995 by The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-Day Saints (link at the bottom). 
Some of the things that I am going to write about are going to be pulled from what I have learned week by week. Some of the principles being taught are: Marriage: Ordained of God, Marriage: Equal Partnership, Preparing for Marriage, Parenting Principles, Parenting Practices, Family Happiness, Special Challenges and Opportunities, and Public Policy and The Family. I will be writing about these particular doctrines in this exact order and am excited to share that through Jesus Christ’s foundational principles, we can have strong, happy, and united families!
