He also wants to have kids soon since I am already The dilemma I have now is: I do not know how would our relationship shape up, after marriage, assuming everything goes fine. I believe when you die, you die, and you live on in memories and hearts. We are alone for many months at a time. The Church encourages people to be a good influence on one another, and she will probably expect you to dress well for her. I'm telling you the spouse who stays pays a terrible price. Trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with someone at home or attempting to date someone you meet while on mission are both distractions. Can anyone suggest specific talking points from content on LDS. She's a wonderful person and I think we could work, so yes. You got some good advice from the other posters on how to maintain contact. I made a conscious decision to marry outside the church for my own reasons.
I am a happily married mono-faith guy who has no testimony of dusted base boards. No one could compare to the man I married. In the endвthe very endвGod loves my husband even more than I love him. So that may be the end of it there. It's very noble but still demanding. I have recently seen too much of these false promises that people use to make others feel good.

Also, love how you describe how God has our backs and we can actually act on the notion of things hoped for that are not seen instead of the quaint pseudo idea that all things are known in advance, step by step, and lead to mortal and eternal bliss. It is not the norm. This blog accommodates some frank admissions about that which is less than wonderful about LDS. This is the rule rather than the exception. Before that, you are encouraged to date, but not exclusively. She found the perfect Mormon guy, they were married in the temple. It would be foolish to acquiesce a Mormon girl to drink coffee. Not in endless discussions of temple marriage, not ever.
Honestly, it isn't her fault. That said, I would be fully aware that Mormonism is going to compel even the best of them to do some truly horrendous stuff at times. Whatever your leaders have said, consider their counsel, give it the weight it deserves, then counsel with your Heavenly Father about your own situation. Observe the suttle loony behavior of the family during thanksgiving. Someday she may really regret everything, and miss you like crazy. After our child was born, I can say that my resentment of my husband started to grow and overshadow the respect I have for what he does.
