I've been in a similar situation before. Now that my boyfriend and I are beginning to talk about a future together, though, I realize that I need to consider this question of marrying outside of the church very carefully. This is wonderful and in accordance with the desires of a loving Father in Heaven, but it can turn a marriage on its ear, if the spouse is unprepared.
Almost everything is complicated. I can honestly say I wish he stayed were he was it has been a long road. Best wishes to those struggling with these big, life-altering decisions. Now that I am married, it has become more apparent that his previous comments about not minding if his wife has a career, were not entirely accurate. Also, don't forget, some people just arent very good at conveying emotions. I would say though that racial differences are NOT like religious differences, certainly not those between Mo and Nomo. It is always a nice idea to plan for your date in advance.
It's just that on days I'm working, I can't do that. He did not like the idea of early morning seminary and he told me I was old enough to make my own choice to serve a mission, but he strongly advised against it. I wanted that full support though I am certainly not saying that marrying a Mormon ensures that.
That said, there are also a lot of pricks inside the church, who fully deserve membership. March 19, And congratulations, "lovableluciferian" for walking away from the precipice of an untenable relationship. The ideal, in my opinion, is that she discovers what we all know about the lies the church tells her. These same principles have helped build strong, successful religious communities for thousands of years. I had to lobby and cry alot so I could bring my dog up, I am not sure how that will go because dogs have hair, need to go out, and the house might get messed up. Like you I grew up with and taught the standard LDS beliefs about temple marriage, celestial kingdom, etc. I love him more than anyone else I've been with - but it takes a strong, patient woman willing to sacrifice a lot, to date a doctor. And you will be shocked. Signs of an Affair. I felt insane and crazy for being upset and considered just leaving ASAP.
