I have finally learned to pray to change my heart, not his. If not, it's better to find out now than to continue with something that isn't satisfying you. If so, you have a chance. Is it wrong not to. I've read some of the articles linked to by mormonessays. Work out as many as you can before marriage happens. But it's the away rotations for months at a time that get really hard. This is by design. I had no idea how hard it could get.
At the end of the day, nothing I say or do can help him see this. He wants things to be low key for now. I am not sure if this post can be gone through, if it does, please reply me. And you will be shocked. So I came across this post and I was wondering if you ladies could give me some advice. Of course he invited me to come with him, but he is in the wedding, so I'll be sitting there watching him in the wedding on my 30th birthday weekend.
Don't get her hopes up too much - in return ask her to do something to research your views. It's definitely not an easy life. If you decide to marry this man, you both will find a way to be happy and have a wonderful marriage, not that perfect that we see in the Sundays at Church. The woman's role is to grow up, marry a worthy priesthood holder, and have a lot of kids. If you do manage to break her away from the church, her family will be there to continue sowing doubt. I think that if these two really care about each other that she should be told to take a moment and ask herself how she would feel if they break up over this and years later she finally researches her religion. In my experience, life-long member, many Mormons have difficulty thinking outside the box, and putting forth effort to inclue and love. And I don't mean my good friend Satan. 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. I have felt alone many a days when raising our 2 children while he was at work or out of town for conferences.
Now I don't get offended when he falls asleep when I come over - in fact, he puts his head in my lap and I run my hands through his hair until he falls asleep. Marriage is unbelievably amazing and indescribably painful; I have been at it for 28 years with my soul mate. Next year we are getting married but I already see a tough life ahead of me. I would think that a comprise between you getting missionary discussions and her reading the CES letter would be even. Much more, since I am having a hard time to conceive, all adds up to my frustrations. Being married to a doctor is no walk in the park. That and this recent article https: They are trying to explain how it's ok that the founder used a magic rock to hunt for buried treasure to earn money, and then used that same "seer stone" to translate the Book of Mormon. I decided to sort of play along because she was amazing and I didn't believe some of the things she was telling me she actually believed. In regards to my current situation, I feel like a lot of the time he doesn't understand that things like MCAT's and studying undergrad or med school come first. I adore the show New Normal and one of my favorite episodes is when Bryan decides to go back to church and the Father is so cool with him.
