In her obviously orthodox Mormon paradigm dad's a bishop, she went to BYU and on a missionunderstand that she believes her husband must be an orthodox Mormon and get married to her in the temple. She cannot get into the top echelons of heaven without being sealed to a worthy priesthood holder in the temple for time and all eternity. He is always going to be the vulnerable, tired, needy one in our relationship and I don't feel like a doormat for being the one who provides that support and love to him anymore. I'm pretty disturbed by the level of dismissiveness seen in many of the comments here. She is now happy with her uber-Mormon boyfriend and I am happily dating other people as well. Whereas white and black may both sleep in on Sunday and tie their left shoes first, Mos have a set of behavioral norms that are in serious conflict with Nomo lifestyles. No easy answers here. Life will chuck all sorts of bouncers at you. The man presides over everything.
Lonely is an everyday thing. My number one question is about family - I want him to be able to be around for kids when that time comesso how realistic is it to expect him to be there for their sporting games or whatever they're doing. My current atheism bothers him a little but as long as we respect each other it's fine.
Then she took a vacation to Utah and in her letter to me she stated that she had seen the Temple, and I never heard from her again. Does it mostly depend on his specialty or just how he prioritizes things. After enough years of this, you stop trying. Like many Docotors wives, Our husbands have a demanding career. I only know him as the most loving, caring, and sincere man I have ever met. She wants the captain of a ship who can direct all aspects of a relationship, including spiritual direction. But the idea of marrying my husband felt right from almost the get-go and, my patriarchal blessing made so much more sense.
My faith, while less orthodox, has certainly matured. I have always worked full-time and no employers ever give you any lenience. Hopefully they have some say in it, but I'm speaking about other churchgoers' expectations here, and probably your wife's.
