Moral Creed

So for my religion class this semester I am taking 'Preparing for Celestial Marriage' I was a little skeptical at first, but it was the only class that would fit with my schedule. Now I am so glad I'm taking it! I feel like I learn so much. We had to make these things called our moral creeds. It's simple really, all you do is make a word document of things that you will do, and then another for things that you wont. I think that this is a very good idea and that everyone should do it. Here is mine :) p.s. A lot have to do with dating and marriage because of the class I am in...

I will...

· Settle for nothing less than a temple marriage.

· Date people that honor and respect women.

· Hold to my standards when it comes to looking for someone to marry.
