We raised 2 wonderful children who are now happy and successful adults. Sometimes not even a quick text most of the time. With that same attitude they will rise up on the other side of the veil. I know I am a strong person but it really does suck sometimes. To me, life is all about growthвso ask yourselfвwill I grow more staying single and focusing my life on the church, or will I grow more branching out, looking at life from different perspectives, and allowing myself to see options I have not yet considered. He left his practice of many years and started a new one this week. I'll keep digging through it, but there's a lot there and I'd like some suggestions to narrow my search. That isn't fair on you, and again will create stress and a stress point in the relationship. Would she be okay spending a Sunday to an atheist space with you. However her husband joined the church a few years after their marriage.
I'm going to disagree with what some of the people have said. Take the missionary lessons, read the Book of Mormon and the Bible. If they believe their religion, they will ultimately cause you pain and disappointment. No where did I say, nor I think indicate, that I thought this wasn't a complex issue, or that this girl is a caricature. And after dating a few months we both knew we wanted to get married. She will be pressured and will likely shut you out. I have read some of the comment here and would like to share my experience. Early in our relationship, I gave some thought to the question of whether I would ever be willing to marry a non-Mormon. With that same attitude they will rise up on the other side of the veil.
Much good luck, and keep us in the loop. But it is the path we have to go through to get to that point that really scares me. God and the Goddess had something more waiting for me. Forty plus years later I met my incredibly wonderful fabulous Mormon husband. I'll definitely talk with her about my concerns, and will be spending time with her family over the upcoming holidays so that will be a good chance to see how they treat me. With so much pervasive degeneracy in the media, Mormon parents think they are safe showing their kids Disney movies. I want to serve a mission in my old age with my husband. A quiet, hard working immigrant but dedicated and faithful.
But, on the other hand, maybe being a doctor is so fulfilling that they can cope better with the lack of other activities. There will always be difference between spouses. Have been MD in good relationship for 25 years with kids etc but key is that my wife has her own life and works as hard as I do at her own career and isn't caught up in my world.
