Love does a lot. I sacrificed my career not in medicine but I have advanced degrees in my profession because I felt so lucky to be able to be at home raising my two wonderful sons. You won't know this until you do it and that is really important information to get before a marriage contract. She probably has not studied the real truths behind Mormonism and thinks her beliefs are the only way to become a God while living eternally with family in the life hereafter. I guess I was just hoping there was way for it to work. This means that she will probably be dating others at the same time as you. I am giving him all of those things. That is her ultimate goal when it comes to dating and choosing potential mates. We still went on dates when we could, but it became less and less often. Avoid the topic when you can, it's not something that'll be pretty unless handled in a calm discussion which Well, people as a whole tend to be pretty immature with big topics.



I hope I can forgive it someday, but even still my anger is red hot. Basically, these are long-distance relationship tricks. I grew up in Utah, attended BYU, and served a mission. We are talking about kids and I know it will all fall to me. I know from my own experience that God has the answers and that He speaks to those individuals who humbly seek Him. Marriage to the wrong person is extremely difficult. I want to serve a mission in my old age with my husband. It will definitely take patience to work through any of this with her but it sounds like she's a pretty awesome person. She has to come to the realization that the church may not be infallible, it can't be forced on her or proven to her.
I also think that if marriage outside the covenant is a sin, it is not so grave as to be unforgivable. But that parent-child relationship was bound to change anyways as you become an adult. I know, I know, this is the last thing you want to hear. I always felt guilty for feeling bored, depressed or anxious about spending so much time apart from him, but thanks all, for making me realize that I am not alone.
Hi, like others I've read a lot of the posts but still have a few questions. How will your spouse feel about that in 20 years. You should take all of the above advice to heart and follow it just in case, so you can make a smooth transition should it ever be necessary. I do not see this going well. I also think that if marriage outside the covenant is a sin, it is not so grave as to be unforgivable. The church creates massive guilt and shame in children and adults usually through sex related shaming.
