I wouldn't purposefully subject my daughters to that BS. Of course my parents love each other very much and would not choose another spouse, which is why her response caught me off guard. My husband and I have been together since we were year-olds at university trying to figure out where we stood with the faiths we had grown up in. You need to repent and change. If I'm focused on something like reading a textbook, or working on some problem then I might still think of him vaguely but I'm not going to whip out my phone or go and see himI'm busy. Even if he just has a weekend free, getting away, just teh two of us, helps so very much.
He needs a house that he can call home and a family that loves him. Be gentle with them and yourself. What do you guys do about this-- do you go with your spouse. They must refrain not only from sex, but also passionate kissing or similar physical contact, or any act that arouses such feelings. Marriage offers a chance to develop generosity of spirit and a willingness to be improved by the one we love, no matter what faith tradition he or she may claim. Probably, not Mount Meadows level, but be prepared to have to apologize on her behalf a lot. Oh well, at least now I know. Save her and yourself more pain by ending it before you fall in love.
The thing is I didn't want to marry someone who I'd never see or spend time with. That is the shit storm on the road ahead of you. She went ahead a married a non member. I spent a lot of time on my knees and made several trips to the temple before I felt l could trust that what I knew I wanted to be promptings actually were. She might not even be living according to the moral standards of the Church. Most mormon girls look at guys like you as a project and that they have a lifetime to work on the project. My sisters married to the temple served a mission etcв. Eternity is a long time. If your spouse thinks 8 is too young to get baptized, are you all right with waiting until they are older.
Their job is HARD. Ask her rhetorically if she would dump her religion for her true love. Without going into too much personal detail, I received a very real, strong prompting that I should marry this girl. With such high standards of perfection, Mormon girls want a man who validates their efforts and confidently provides directionвa man who expects them to be beautiful.
