I grew away from mine as my husband then-boyfriend slowly grew closer to his Mormon faith. Mormonism, like many extreme religions, often stunts the growth of its members. It broke my shelf, we left as an entire family, and our marriage is better than ever. How convenient for him. I want to serve a mission in my old age with my husband. To them, everyone is either TBM, hasn't learned the truth yet, or has some kind of personal failing laziness, desire to sin, allowed themself to be deceived by satan, etc. I'm no doctor so what am I supposed to do twiddle my thumbs in our room while he gets back. And, as I was writing the reply, above, those thoughts went through my head. Drinkers tend to rely on drink before they can have fun. About two years into our marriage, I got sick of waiting in bed for him to come read scriptures with me.
In childhood, that includes the majority. Anyway, before you marry you should work out anything hypothetical that might come up in the future. We need to believe fully and then we make choices, not the other way around.
I honestly believe i need more support from him. Find a good man first, one that you can trust and feel comfortable building a future with, and then worry about the profession later. My wife chose me, but most people aren't so lucky. I also definitely don't want her raising my future children, though, and I'll be very clear about that.
I remember attending numerous priesthood meetings by myself and wishing dad were next to me. Thank you for your blog. Buy them a bus ticket with a note and an address. A quiet, hard working immigrant but dedicated and faithful.
