She still has another year of residency but I am hoping she chooses a specialty that is not as demanding on her time. I must admit that this life comes with a lot of surprises. Because Utah mormons are waayyy different than mormons everywhere else. Deep down I know he could pass on that stuff, but never the less it seems like a necessary inconvenience to attend these events. Are the sacrifices you make for your partner worth it, and do you have any tips for making it work.



Mormons think when you die, based on if you were a good person cough cough atheists you go to spirit "paradise" where they will teach you the gospel. An important is doing this together. You will be surrounded by single women, many of whom are probably interested in dating and marrying a Mormon, so take advantage.
Please realize I know how the church works, was extremely active and raised good kids. While a part of me is sad about not having a temple marriage and getting sealed together I have hope that this could change while we are on this earth and I have faith in an ever-loving Father in Heaven who is kind and just and will be able to provide a way for my family to live together in the eternities. Until you can believe someone else's beliefs are reasonable, you will not be able to treat them with the respect they deserve.
Sadly, I'm not sure at this point. It certainly isn't easy. Would she be okay spending a Sunday to an atheist space with you. If this is someone you are to marry, then the rest will take care of itself. Much better to marry in the faith if possible. 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. Whatever your leaders have said, consider their counsel, give it the weight it deserves, then counsel with your Heavenly Father about your own situation. Mormonism and Non-Mormonism don't link to future lives. My wife chose me, but most people aren't so lucky. I am totally okay with anything that doesn't place physical or mental demands on me.
