But you are setting yourself up to leave the Church more easily, and even if you agree the children will be raised Mormon, your kids will likely not continue to participate in the Church as adults. I recommend that talk. This does not mean that you cannot do those things, but remember that she will not be able to do them with you. Be open and talk about your ideals. We like each other, but I feel like giving up also at times. That conversation prompted me to find and read through this sub, and there's some seriously disturbing shit here.

I thought it was beautiful that they included him in the circle, even though he was not a Priesthood holder. But I don't know that he does the same for me. I just feel relieved that there are others of you out there in the same boat as me. Before I met my husband I had dated quite a few members and some relationships were quite serious but I never felt right about it. Her experience may or may not be typical, but it is something to consider. Even without temple covenants marriage is a noble and worthy institution. I am a career military man's wife.
