Make sure the girl you like is already 16 years old. Then an explanation of the nature of your soul and where it came from and where it's going. Maybe he found a nice Mormon girl after all. Comes home 4 am and 7 am he goes to work again. The church creates massive guilt and shame in children and adults usually through sex related shaming. I am struggling to find an answer to this question for several reasons.




God will help you both work this out. I also remember my father a stake president telling me the night before I got married that every single couple he had counseled through marriage struggles were not reading their scriptures or praying together every night. I think in most situations its either you join or she leaves- either you, or the church. It CAN work, to be frank. I've told people money doesn't buy love. I am also certain that there are callings and opportunities that I would have had, were I married to a faithful LDS woman, that I have missed. So when our children bring home a potential mate that has cultural, racial, religious or other big differences then our child, our concerns immediately flare up. I think she sounds great but she won't be able to not bring it up. Among Mormons, 25 is practically an old maid.
I too suffer the same problem. After two years of being together with very few problems, it ended within 30 minutes of having "The Talk" about my future religiosity. Best of luck, and God bless. I guess I can understand that because his door needs to be locked from the outside and it would be too soon in our relationship to give me a key. Marry a person based on his character, not his religion. You never walks you'll never know. It's not a gender issue or money issue. I bring him food I make sure he's happy.
I have always been a very active, outdoor person. I know, I know, this is the last thing you want to hear. You should ask yourself if you want to have input on the way your children are raised. I'm going to disagree with what some of the people have said. About ten years ago, I realized I needed to quit qualifying my excellent husband who is a better man than many Mormon men I knowI realized I needed to raise my kids to think of him as completely equal to the men they knew at church. There is no way she will may you without you going to the temple. And the you've seen the CES letter. She was masterful at hiding the cuts and bruises with clothing. Marrying a non-Mormon is not something you do it is something that happens. I'm on the same page as you.
