Hi, I'm Matt

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I like physical activities like running, bicycling, and swimming. I like to make homemade bread, including hand grinding the wheat to make flour. I am married and have three sons. I work as a veterinary technician.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because this faith has given me a clear understanding of the Savior Jesus Christ and His gospel.

How I live my faith

I serve as a Scoutmaster of a Boy Scout troop.

How are modesty and chastity related? How can parents teach their children to be modest in dress, language and behavior?

Janet answered...

Chastity is reserving physical intimacy for after marriage. This sexual intimacy is such a beautiful and powerful display of love that it is to be reserved for that special time. When we do this we are showing the respect and love we have for ourselves and our bodies, as the gift from God that they are. Through our dress, language and behavior we also show our self worth and respect for who we are. The neat thing about being modest is the strong self confidence that is exhibited by your outward appearance. There is a power that comes from knowing that we are children of a loving Heavenly Father. As parents teach their children that simple truth, that self confidence will develop and as the desire to be modest in dress, language and behavior will come naturally. I know that this was the case in my life and am super grateful for the teachings of my parents and the high self confidence it cultivated in knowing of my individual worth as a daughter of God.
Brittney Michelle answered...

Modesty is almost a precursor for chastity. They are the built upon the doctrine of the sanctity of our body. By being modest in our actions and dress we outwardly show our understanding that we, as a soul, are more than just an object to be flaunted. Our body is a gift from God and he has asked us to save intimacy until after we are married. We show respect for him and ourselves if we hold off until marriage and always dress and act modestly. This principle can be taught to children through example, first and foremost, but also by being honest and explaining to them the importance of it and why we are asked to live it. Use the Holy Ghost as your guide as you teach your children.

Do Mormons practice polygamy?

Jessica answered...

No.

The Church has not practiced polygamy since 1890. Any member found to be practicing plural marriage is excommunicated from the Church. We are not affiliated with any group currently practicing polygamy.
