I just started dating this guy and he is not only in the army, but a doctor. Dating is a tricky game. He needs a house that he can call home and a family that loves him.
I've had friends with spouses that got Fulbrights or grants to study in other countries. If yes, do you promise to not proselytize to me and let me drink a simple cup of coffee in my own home. That doesn't get better unless you humble yourself, either -- admit you might be wrong. I wish you the best of luck. I know my husband appreciates me looking into it because he knows I am doing it to gain an understanding into the culture he was raised in. Post was not sent - check your email addresses.
Even if the church believes a bunch of crazy nonsense, and she believes it too, I still really like her and would like to see whether we can have some good intellectual conversations about this stuff. That settles it for me. Seems some lonely trolls out there too based on above commentor. Love does a lot. But she probably is more in love with the idea of you, than with you. It will definitely take patience to work through any of this with her but it sounds like she's a pretty awesome person. Ragonk If you don't get it, never mind. If you can love them unconditionally with how they are now, then I say go for it. This girl is also a real person, not a caricature of a cult member, and even if the ultimate result is a breakup, she deserves to be treated with compassion and respect.
He is extremely compassionate. You are atheist and that's not changing. I would never ever choose a different path. Understand that it's their belief, and make plans for any of the other 6 days instead. But DON'T become in need of care as a spouse. Her church is more important to her than you are ever will beplain and simple. Am I ready for this. I love how this applies to ALL marriages. I think the LDS have been vastly over-simplifying that doctrine. She's most likely secretly playing out fantasies of converting you, marrying you in a Mormon temple, and having a very Mormon life, OP.
