We have been together for around three years and I feel like now more than ever he expects me to just do things his way and not have an opinion. I always feel like I am last. It seems to me like you are walking into a relationship where there is a significant disconnect from the start. You have to make the decision as to what you want your home and your children to have in that home. He knows how I feel about spending time together. Here are my thoughts as someone who grew up with a non-mormon father and as someone who married a non-mormon girl. The importance of modesty. I love him more than anyone else I've been with - but it takes a strong, patient woman willing to sacrifice a lot, to date a doctor. I can't complain about the first 24yrs. Hence, ensure that the girl or guy you want to date is above 16; although with changing times, some kids may date younger, if your love interest is not keen on going out until 16, then hold off.
This blog accommodates some frank admissions about that which is less than wonderful about LDS. Getting things done, solve every problems, started my day with long a to-do list daily. Mormons have a well-known code of health, called the Word of Wisdom. The important thing is that you are getting to know one another, not that you are always doing fancy things. He had the night shift last night so today was his day off and he also has research to do.

And even then it will put Huge stress on it and on you for the rest of your life. I can say this. I knew intern year would be brutal and I hoped residency would be a little better, and it was. Reconciling this with the doctrine of temple marriage is trickier. I would never change my decision to marry him. I would like to ask for some advice from the spouses of Docs or Docs to be on how to handle the house responsibilities.
If your spouse believes in infant baptism, will you allow the children to have that. She will insist on raising her children in the Mormon church. I'm surprised this thread is still getting replies. I explained to her that from my perspective, if a religious person does something good, you can't trust them because they're doing it for the wrong reasons: When an atheist does something good, you know they're not doing it for any reason other than to help someone else. My nonmember husband and I have been married for almost 18 years. I'm not quite bitter but a tad fed up as have given up family, career, friends and started afresh x 2 again to be left alone at the other side of the planet with two young kids, moving house and setting up home with just 4 suitcases. I wanted very much to make it work with us, and was willing to compromise in areas that I normally wouldn't. I recommend that talk.
