- "Lectures on theology" were approved for inclusion in the Book of Commandments, and the Book of Commandments was renamed to Doctrine and Covenants by a Conference vote in 1835. Section 101, known as the "Article on Marriage", was also added, part of which read, "Inasmuch as this church of Christ has been reproached with the crime of fornication, and polygamy: we declare that we believe, that one man should have one wife; and one woman, but one husband, except in case of death, when either is at liberty to marry again."
