We feel good about our choices, but know it might not be the right path for everyone. I knew a woman who married a man who converted to the church and she spent the rest of their married life telling him he was not good enough. Affection will come and go based on our attitudes, and will not carry through the rough spots в married in the Church or outside. I was with him before I even started college and the past year was especially tough as I am getting more and more busy. BYU was once the perfect place to find a great young woman and get married. I think I handle the lonliness a little better than most because I was an only child and like having my alone time. If you can't, then it's best to move on. I even had someone tell me I should know better than to marry a nomo.
One of the most well known church prophets stated that he would rather see his own child dead in their coffin than married outside the temple. At least people of different races are aware of those differences, and are on alert to deal with them. My Buddhist husband likes Mormons and even going to church. My advice would be to date him when he has free time. Now he is home for dinner every night, takes a fraction of the calls, and doesn't work holidays. I volunteer every week, I put others before myself, etc.
Well, you know what you're not going to get into before marriage So fuck that relationship. You will get to mingle with a lot of new people, and who knows, maybe you will also find the guy or girl of your dreams there. There are other ways. Mark an envelope to be opened at different times throughout the day.
Forget what anyone else says or expects of you. At that point, I would have gotten half of everything we own. Unless you convert she won't marry you, plain and simple. These are nice people. Because she will think that all of a sudden she is going to hell for being human, that's mormon sexual repression. But it is luck of the draw. He hasn't proposed and instead of saving for a ring he is going to use the money to travel to go to his friend's wedding.
