You;ll get the answer you needвprayers and blessings for you both. But there are many people on here who truly devoutly believed in Mormonism and broke free. The LDS Church meets many of the criteria for cult behavior. She may have served a mission as an ultimatum to herself. And as an outsider it will be obvious to you what's going on, but here's an awesome breakdown from a couple that flipped from "we go to church every week - we will write a Mormon blog" to resigning over the new policy banning children of gays all over the NY Times this month and something that is upsetting many staunch church members a few days ago. It's alot to understand if not raised and taught in it specifically.
I could get a small jigsaw puzzle and send those pieces once a day. If you are in a movie theater, you can't talk, so you can't get to know the girl you are dating. I don't know if it's worse for us: For me, it's been an inner battle with myself, should I follow my husband or should he follow me as I am one year ahead. Perhaps I will have to start one. I would NOT want my daughter or son to marry a doctor. Next year we are getting married but I already see a tough life ahead of me. The fact that she is dating an atheist non-Mormon shows pretty serious lack of conformity already. You cannot do his job. Word to the wise, wait a day or two. So that may be the end of it there.
We have family prayer every day and read the scriptures occasionally. Why Mormons are not sexist. Why Mormons are not racist. Eventually I hope each wards get to a point where they know that as a ward family our job is simply to make sure that each person, member or non member knows that when they enter the house of the Lord, they are loved.
He is truly my soulmate and I shudder to think that if I had not chosen to marry outside of the church, I would not have had this life with him. So if you are caffeine junky, be sure that you can adjust to and accept your date's beliefs before going on a date. If it is already an issue in your relationship, then it'll amplify to an extreme if you get married.
