That’s just the thing though. I know a lot of members share in your interpretation (and I did too before getting married) but that’s pretty much why I was trying to figure out what those darn temple instructions were. I feel like the instructions in the temple were (are?) to simply wear them throughout your life. That’s a little different than ‘wear them at all times unless you’re doing something that prevents you from being able to wear them’ . It leaves it as more of a personal decision on what that means to each individual. For instance I can wear my garments throughout my life, but still take them off each night to sleep naked with my wife if that’s what we choose to do. (Personally I wonder if that’s one of the reasons they removed the ‘night and day’ wording on the recommend interview but I digress). I understand that the church encourages members to wear them at all times unless we reasonably can’t. I’m just trying to separate encouragement from what we actually agree to in the temple. I completely agree that the real importance here is that the garments serve as a symbolic reminder of our covenant. Asking whether we should or shouldn’t wear them in x situation is probably the wrong question.

Hi all, first time posting here. I had an interview with my bishop to renew my temple recommend today and was asked the typical “Do you wear the garments as instructed in the temple” bit. Anyways it made me realize that I don’t actually remember how I was instructed to wear them when I went through the temple (over a decade ago). Furthermore it seems like the instructions may have changed since then - no reference to wearing them night and day anymore in the recommend interview. I know they read the blurb about how we should wear the garment at the bottom of the interview -https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/multimedia/file/first-presidency-temple-recommend-letter.pdf But my question is - is the instruction given in the temple the same as the instructions given in the temple recommend interview? Is the wording the same? Is there more or less instruction given in the temple given about wearing the garments? And If the wording is different Is there a place in the temple I can go to review what the current instruction is? I’m familiar with what the current guidance in the church handbook is. I’m specifically trying to figure out if that is the guidance that is currently given inside of the temple
