Nick and Alex Leyva celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Family Proclamation by unpacking Elder Ronald A. Rasband's recent General Conference talk. Discover the untold story of how President Russell M. Nelson led the committee that drafted this document, why it was first shared at a Relief Society meeting, and what the gender roles actually mean.

Many people view the proclamation as exclusionary, outdated, or controversial. But Nick and Alex argue it's the blueprint that applies to everyone, regardless of family background. They tackle the "dragon" nobody wants to face, explain why "preside" doesn't mean dominate, and break down the difference between accountability and exclusivity in marriage roles.

This episode of Epic Marriage combines doctrine with family science research, addressing objections head-on while offering practical ways to check in on presiding, providing, protecting, and nurturing in your own marriage. The proclamation isn't a nice suggestion. It's a revelation designed to protect families in increasingly difficult times.

Temple marriages have a 12-14% divorce rate compared to 63% for the general population ages 20-40. But sealing alone isn't enough. The Leyva's walk through the three core truths restored through modern prophets: eternal identity, pre-mortal existence, and the plan of salvation. These aren't just doctrines; they're the foundation that helps couples build marriages that last.

Nick's mission experience teaching a Buddhist convert who realized he was a prince and Alex's struggle with numbing out to familiar truths both show why knowing you're a child of God changes everything about how you approach marriage. The proclamation isn't just a document on the wall; it's the roadmap for creating something that defeats death itself.

Nick and Alex Leyva launch the Epic Marriage Podcast with a simple but revolutionary message - eternal marriages should feel epic, not exhausting. In this premier episode of the Epic Marriage podcast, discover why so many LDS couples settle for "enduring to the end" instead of building relationships that actually thrive.

With temple marriages showing a 91% success rate compared to 50-80% divorce rates elsewhere, they explore what makes covenant marriages different.

Starting with President Nelson's warning about letting romance become rusty and Elder Oaks' commission to share family science with the world, this episode sets the foundation for conversations that tackle what others avoid. Whether you're newlyweds figuring things out or seasoned couples ready for breakthrough, Nick and Alex invite you to discover that marriage with Christ at the center isn't just about surviving together but creating something truly epic that gets better with time.
