At the end of the day, nothing I say or do can help him see this. Thank you, Liz, for your very kind words and encouragement. Please start another thread and continue the conversation. But there are many people on here who truly devoutly believed in Mormonism and broke free. She found the perfect Mormon guy, they were married in the temple. Before that, you are encouraged to date, but not exclusively.
So for anyone reading this - I completely agree with all your advice!. Then again, I doubt any man who's not in medicine is willing to put up with the sacrifices of being a neurosurgeons husband. I get sweet texts some morning when he is on his way to the office and that's all it takes the rest of my day is amazing. They can't seem to deal with it, and shouldn't have to. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email.
Is it wrong not to. I respect what my husband does but I have nothing but my pets and a dusty Ivy Leaguedegree. Love is a relation where compromise sacrifices and understanding matters a lot. I decided to sort of play along because she was amazing and I didn't believe some of the things she was telling me she actually believed. Be prepared to experience many disappointments, such as missed events, delayed arrivals and early departures due to patient needs. But what does it really mean to be a patriarch, to lead your tribe.
Don't get her hopes up too much - in return ask her to do something to research your views. I made a conscious decision to marry outside the church for my own reasons. He wanted our kids exposed to Christianity for intellectual reasons and likes the community. I am someone who loves quality time a lot. Their son grew up to become a temple president. I could go on, but this should give you the idea. Do FaceTime with her when she gets there to drink tea. I don't think people really understand how lonely it can get, unless you are married to one.
