I have been happily married to a non-mormon for 20 years. And no I would not pressure them to convert but as a Latter-day Saint I would pray for them to convert as I do for many people I know and love. Your crush might put a lampshade on her head and call it innocent fun. I am just short of living in a shelter because he has all of his pay going into a separate account for just him now and he has given access tot he account to his mistress. I do not text or call him frequently-- I'll send him the occasional message, but generally I let him initiate contact and dictate the pace. It works, though, because I know that his beliefs have great worth. You could even pass it off as you investigating the church and you stumnled accross these essays on lds. You should not be trying to be exclusive with one person, so go on dates with as many people as you can. We had a long distant relationship for 3 years.




I am a non Mormon. I've been doing it wrong. Good luck and my prayers are with you. I don't want to come off as needy or clingy but I've never dated someone in this profession before. Honestly, he probably is giving you as much of his free time as he can,and can't give you any more. So for anyone reading this - I completely agree with all your advice!. To be honest; we're not couples matching pretty disparate specialties not conducive to couples matching but we're matching by geography, so I guess we'll have to wait and see if we're still together after the match: Well I guess you can always ask him for a little clarification etc. You don't have to believe them yourself, but you need that respect in thought as well as action, and you need to frame this as your own journey because you can only change yourself. That being said, when you marry a doctor, you marry the profession too.
Get her to explain what she believes, and how it might differ from her church. I can relate to this post. Avoid the topic when you can, it's not something that'll be pretty unless handled in a calm discussion which Well, people as a whole tend to be pretty immature with big topics. You have to have very thick skin to stay in it. Mormons are one of the few remaining groups with healthy women. But I got tired of that, and I made it clear to him that I will stay in with him as often as he wants, put him to bed, make food with him or for him, clean, etc. As more and more people marry out of their faith, the subject of interfaith marriage will become more and more important. But I also know that He loves us so much that He would never take away our ability to choose for ourselves. Please start another thread and continue the conversation.
My wife is living proof that they CAN be worth it. I always felt guilty for feeling bored, depressed or anxious about spending so much time apart from him, but thanks all, for making me realize that I am not alone. All those are reasons to give the church some elbow room but they are not reasons for actually staying. If you are all sealed together, you will be together forever in the Celestial Kingdom. I have read some of the comment here and would like to share my experience.
