I'm dating a Mormon girl right now but we both understand that it is most likely isn't going to last long. The average debt of a med school graduate is aboutUSDwhich normally takes up to 30 years to pay off and consequentially amounts to aroundUSD of total debt with accrued interest added in. And of course, when it happens, no one the leaver or the faithful spouse could have predicted it. After deep soul searching, I decided to stop working and be a stay at home mom. I had many, many friends who moved this quickly during courtship, too. It's been really, really hard for my fiancee, and I don't think he would be my fiancee if I was this busy when we had met. I know a lot of Mormons who were also not raised on fear and guilt and strict gender rolesвbut I was, as were many of my peers. I'm so sick of waiting around every night and weekend to see if he will have a minute for me. The church can be a very cruel place for single people. The woman gets fidgety after three days on vacation.




You have given me the courage to continue to protect my marriage and children. How is that gonna work. When out on a date with a Mormon guy or girl, be very decent, courteous, and well-mannered. As Joanna said, marriage takes some work no matter what, but being married to your best friend, and listening to the spirit brings great blessings. I think nothing really prepared either of us for fellowship though. Anyways, good luck, I hope it works out. I hate to say it, but I don't see this ending well. In our church, women are treated with more respect, and are considered to have a literal free ticket to heaven, simply bu because their female. We might not always like the way some priesthood holders act, but to disparage the priesthood is not being responsible.
She is instructed to have children within wedlock very soon, raise these children in a Mormon home, and devote hours each week to church activities plus Sabbath observance on Sunday. I don't know any other doctor's wives. It has just made me realize that these formulas a lot of us Mormons learn growing up about how to have a happy marriage are, well, crap. I would have been deeply insulted if anyone talked about me the way people are talking about this girl He needs to tell her there is a no chance he will convert, that he is not comfortable with his children being raised Mormon if he isn'tthat she cannot ever expect a temple marriage with him.
Doctors are gift of God but when u marry, family too is important. Is the answer really just communication and uninterrupted alone time. I think I handle the lonliness a little better than most because I was an only child and like having my alone time.
