I am so glad I found this blog. You guys sound like you have a great and committed relationship - a true jewel in this world. In response to your comment about being with that creative director think all relationships have problems. I am no longer the vivacious young girl……life has not been easy. How do I help sustain and grow our communication under the circumstance. Never mind the paycheck because I even earn more than him. If you have a literal belief that you need to have a temple marriage to go to the celestial kingdom, you will always keep a secret desire to convert your spouse. The important thing is that you are getting to know one another, not that you are always doing fancy things.
Or when I get up at 5: So far I have not brought up any of this with him because I'm trying to offer all of that support and space you mentioned and I wanted to give him the chance to do it himself. He is a resident now, and I am a professor The problem is that we could not find a geographic location that could accommodate both of us, and this is a second year that we live apart, in two different states. That is the million dollar question. Much better to marry in the faith if possible.
Make arrangements to send her to your cousins town and let your cousin know she will be visiting. Our relationship is not perfect, not easy, but absolutely amazing. My husband has gone from proselytizing and thinking he knows it all to a real spiritual seeker, albeit with a strong testimony in the church. But there are many people on here who truly devoutly believed in Mormonism and broke free. I have no idea if he stayed. If we do, I will be back to share my experiences.
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. I understand that, and accept that. I have been happily married to a non-mormon for 20 years. They do exist and you deserve that. The intrusion into my life of an apparently irrational belief that was immune to my influence would have been felt more keenly every year. I remember being at some random party in university, holding a beer and looking at the throngs of people around me who were drunk and stumbling. The church really needs to tailor to more partial LDS families, imho. I don't know why the system allows this type of treatment Not only do the residents feel like they "should" be giving every single bit of their energy, intellect, passion, soul to their residency programs, but they are told by their program directors, attendings and everyone else around them that they "must". Learn all you can. I made a conscious decision to marry outside the church for my own reasons.
