The LDS Church encourages that young women explore their options and meet all different kinds of people. I am married to an interventional cardiologist. Narcissism, androgyny, obsession with pop cultureвthe problems with Western women go on and on. I was thinking about this last night after listening to Radio West. Think about what you want in a relationship. Do you masturbate, ever. That being said, when you marry a doctor, you marry the profession too.

Mormons think when you die, based on if you were a good person cough cough atheists you go to spirit "paradise" where they will teach you the gospel. Dating is a tricky game. I can only say that I was that girl, 10 years ago.
