Is your mind made up and you want justifying support. Spending a lifetime single is not something most people would choose to do, but fear of being forever single should never be a deciding factor in entering a marriage, lest serious problems go unaddressed before serious commitments are made. I thought she would grow out of it. In other words, eternal marriage really is worth it, I think. But those days may be gone. And of course, everyone has a different experience.
Dont aggressively try to destroy her faith but bring up philosophical thinking points. If it's the former I'm more inclined to think he's being self-centered in your relationship. When my wife and I married, we were very different, but I found all the differences delightful. Can I add to this extremely old thread. Part of me feels like will I ever get chosen for one weekend as a priority over medicine. I had a business, 3 engineering degrees, numerous patents, and was working countless hours a week to try and keep a roof over our heads, make sure she was fed, the house was clean, bills were paid, etc. They know that they are the best. Many Mormon girls place the cart before the horse. I wish I could reach out to this girl and tell her not to pass up an awesome guy. With minimal support on my side and going against everything I had grown up learning, I had to trust my relationship with God.
I believe that we are all on different paths, but that it is possible for us to travel on different paths side-by-side. For girls, being the right age for marriage usually means graduating high school, if not later. I let her know I'd been reading on LDS. I agree with Rachel- this is not what I signed up for. Just let things keep going. Honestly I'd let things keep going. Stopped answering texts and calls, refused to give me my belongings that he moved up to the new place, and not to mention he broke up with me over the phone after all of those years. The way he wanted to live his life, the family he wanted to have, the wife he dreamt of- matched the type of person I longed for. And after dating a few months we both knew we wanted to get married.
I'm dating a lovely guy who is in his first year of medical residency. There is a lot about Mormonism I am still struggling to understand, but I am reading faith-based memoirs and studying up on Mormonism as well as other religions but the relevance here is on Mormonism. This means holding hands while walking around, or even kissing. As a non member you can not take her to the celestial kingdom to live with God and get your own worlds to populate with her. I feel like I belong to a sisterhood who understand my life. You gals have my sympathy. I've been in a similar situation before. We have been together for just over a year and married for 3 months. We have a happy marriage.
