I'm always torn between wanting to spend time together doing loads of fun things and giving him space to pursue his dream. If you try to deconvert her I suggest indirectly at first. It's winter here and I figured she was layering for warmth. 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. 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. Then here for a musical explanation of how those who yearn for a rational faith can resolve doubt through symbolical interpretation. You just can't imagine the heap o' hurt you're potentially setting yourself up for. First and most importantly, I see major trust issues in your future if you both think the other is brainwashed. I do not threaten lightly.
You I think are ok with that. There is rarely minute that goes by where I am not thinking about him in some way. If she says that the mission was the greatest experience and best two years of her life, any chance you have at a normal long-term healthy relationship is dim unless you convert. If you can love them unconditionally with how they are now, then I say go for it. As for me, I recall spending a lot of Sundays at sporting events with my dad. Distance is hard, being away from family is tough, but in a way having only "each other" made our marriage so strong. The fact that she's planning to go on a mission should help.
I read through a few of the LDS. Juggle them with a working wife, a housewife with children and things become difficult. If you go to mormonthink. If she is full on Mormon, this relationship will go one of two ways: You will convert and change your entire lifestyle and personality to conform with her expectations never to deconvert or you will face severe penalitesor you will break up because you won't convert and change everything about yourself. Mind control is not child's play, and the Mormon church has real people's blood on their hands for the despicable damage they've caused. I know from my own experience that God has the answers and that He speaks to those individuals who humbly seek Him.
A forum for ex-mormons and others who have been affected by mormonism to share news, commentary, and comedy about the Mormon church. You will always be second place. But I'm still thinking about him. I have observed in relationships among friends and family inside and outside of the church that holding a temple recommend does not guarantee a strong, happy marriage. If you are married to your best friend, then love him unconditionally, share the struggles, accept the sacrifices and know that if he could, he would rather be with you than with a sick or dying patient.
