James and I ALWAYS have prayer together at night and then give each other a kiss before we go to sleep. Well...when we were dating we used to read our scriptures AND pray together every night but we haven't made our scriptures a priority in our lives and so we have been severely neglecting them. Part of the problem is that we already finished the Book of Mormon together and well...we need something new or at least something specific to study. We aren't getting as much out of our scripture study time as we should be.
So...I made a list. We now have (an Uncompleted list momentarily) wonderfully put together, day by day list on what we will study that day! And we have decided that for 15min. We will have Individual Study and then 15min. Companion Study to follow so that we can discuss our topic and out thoughts together.
We have decided to review the Relief Society and Priesthood lessons before the lesson each week, the Sunday school lesson and then study from preach my gospel after that, the only other things would be the 5th of every month we are going to review our Patriarchal Blessings, the 10th the Family Proclamation to the world and On weeks with no lesson in Priesthood and Relief society we will either read a general conference talk or an Ensign article.
That way we have variety as well as a general study direction. It's not much study time in a day, but it's enough to get us on the right track.
Here's a Preview:
5th – Read Blessings
At least once a month take the time to read your patriarchal blessings and discuss with one another if you feel prompted to do so.
6th – Preach my Gospel
Pg: 1-2 “Your Commission to teach the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ”
March 7th – 13th
7th – P & RS Ch. 5 “The Creation”
Read Entire Chapter w/Scriptures Alone. Even if not yet finished, after 15min. begin companion study reviewing the chapter, questions you may have and any insights you received during your individual study. (If questions are not answered with scriptures, try looking up talks on the computer). (Write down new insights into study journal).
8th – Sunday School Lesson 11 “How can I do this Great Wickedness?”
Do only the student manual study. (Print from the Internet if you need to).
9th – Preach my Gospel
Pg: 3-4 “The Gospel Blesses Families” if you finish continue to “Teaching by the spirit”
10th – Family Proclamation
Read Aloud the Family Proclamation to the World & Discuss
11th – Preach my Gospel
Pg: 3-4 If not already done, Finish “Teaching by the Spirit” Continue to “Power & Authority of your calling”

Love Always,
