If you stay together l, you are going to have to remind her of that commitment. And how little some men understand the value of a well-dusted baseboard. If so, you have a chance. She is considered "an old maid" by Mormon standards, so she may be willing to marry you--hoping you will convert someday --but she will constantly be reminded that your marriage is inferior to the "Eternal Families" of sealed Mormons, and she will fear dying and never seeing her loved ones again. Basically, these are long-distance relationship tricks. Otherwise you risk having an awkward mix between dating and hanging out, which can be uncomfortable for those involved. Discover the joys of a non-sexual relationship and find sincere ways to show affection without sex. If it's true, it'll come out of the criticism looking better. Honestly I'd let things keep going.
I married a recent convert girl в she may as well have been a nonmember в and less than a year later we got an annulment. I really don't know how will I cope up with every matter without him by my side in this new road ahead of me. We had our first child about a year into the relationship. I like to think that what you said really resonated with her. It won't be easy. He actually wanted them to be active in a religion and thought this was a good idea.

I really wish that I can figure out how to balance the demands of his family and our life together and make everyone happy - I think it is going to be a long road ahead, especially considering that his practice is local to our families. I think the most important thing is to bring up the issues as questions rather than points as why she's wrong.
I also know that my husband's job as a Surgeon is before us my kids and I. Good luck to you and your family with the rest of fellowship. Even though it sounds like she is very Mormon, I feel that this will help her. Hi everyone - like you all, I have been finding it hard dating my boyfriend who is a doctor. I know residency is particularly bad, but what about when he finishes that.
