If you do manage to break her away from the church, her family will be there to continue sowing doubt. I mean, I get where it comes from but it's so ridiculous. You know what the official line of the church is, and what bishops and stake presidents are likely to say. But my son will be 14 then and I will feel that I've already done the work of raising a child. I have learned this painfully with my child growing up in the LDS community. Yes, worse than intern year. Nobody has prepared her for one, definitely haven't prepared her for a healthy physical relationship. All that matters to her is things are how they are because god wants them that way.




She seems to be ok with that, and wants to continue our relationship, and also talks about wanting marriage and children, and raising those children to be mormon like her even if I'm not religious. You need to do this ceremony first where you end up pledging all your money and property to the church:. Look up all the threads of people who are dealing with their true believing spouses -- the guilt, the silence, the bad communication, the hostage-taking. Plan on knowing their religion better than they do at all times. I know my husband appreciates me looking into it because he knows I am doing it to gain an understanding into the culture he was raised in. And no I would not pressure them to convert but as a Latter-day Saint I would pray for them to convert as I do for many people I know and love.
We are best friends. This girl is also a real person, not a caricature of a cult member, and even if the ultimate result is a breakup, she deserves to be treated with compassion and respect. In many ways, she was everything that I ever wanted in a spouse, but in other ways she was not what I ever expected. Where does that leave me. The thing is, even though no one else trusted my decision, I prayed about it daily for our entire relationship.
When I taught GD we discussd the lessons. I tried my best, every bit of me…. Can you live your whole life with a husband you doesnt or never will believe in the mormon church. I also know that my husband's job as a Surgeon is before us my kids and I. It does kick your butt!. My wife and her family are a good example of this. Lately we haven't been talking much as he doesn't want the "scrap time" that I have left over, but instead wants quality time. Though our husband's are different we are very similar.
