You will join the church. Gem With Flaws Joined: While I do talk to my boyfriend everyday, it's usually not for long periods of time. But life is long and eternal and all righteous people will choose the right at the end. Mormon children are advised, in their religion, to refrain from dating until they are at least 16 years of age. Make an honest effort, and see if you reach the walk-away point. I'm sure their motives and good intentions are good - shame some female patience cause us the Doctors wives to have anxieties. Perhaps it was just her personality but I find most doctors repulsive. I have found strength I never knew I had but if I knew then what I know now, I might have made a different decision. I've never understood that bit of the LDS culture.
We have a happy marriage. It did not go well. As Joanna said, marriage takes some work no matter what, but being married to your best friend, and listening to the spirit brings great blessings. I am not quite a spouse of a doctor. We have been together for over ten years, but only married for 6 months. She got engaged 3 months later. Ultimately there are no guarantees but I'd say it's worth a shot. Mormon girls are the best, and you are pretty lucky.
Thanks again for the help. As Joanna said, marriage takes some work no matter what, but being married to your best friend, and listening to the spirit brings great blessings. This guy was orbiting so strongly that he changed his religion before they were even dating. And you know what. I don't know what to do. It's in the Mormon DNA. As a parent, we hope our children will make life choices that will give them the greatest chance of happiness. As a matter of fact, you can begin here.
We strive to improve each other. I know, there is a world, which I have traveled, that have a life so much more difficult than I. She's willing to talk about anything I find directly on LDS. The scenario where she refused to watch a possibly 'anti' documentary and wanted to watch church-sanctioned material sounds like a red flag. My daughter thinks it's funny that she's known her SO 4 years - not ready for marriage. Not every LDS person does, unfortunately. It was totally eye-opening. That ended in OP should do the most honest thing possible.
