The right age for getting married varies depends for men and women. I just happened upon your blog I'm a doctor's wife as well - rural family medicine and I just wanted to agree with you that "have no expectations" is awesome advice. I am deeply hurt and am a very lonely doctor's wife. He may never want anything to do with Mormons or the church again. There have been times in my marriage where I have been frustrated and angry by his lack of change. All these are reasons to have some serious discussions. I constantly have to reprioritize my kid, work, other activities.
Fortunately most of my immediate family has done better. If you marry him, you are committing to accepting him without the church and all that this entails. When we obsess over it we start acting like a customer in a clothing store wondering what he or she will look like if they wear that particular wardrobe.
She will try to convert you. She got engaged 3 months later. We also struggle with infertility. I would think that a comprise between you getting missionary discussions and her reading the CES letter would be even. Children thrive on clarity and consistency.

His hospital "family" protected this information well, silently acquiescing and even approving his behavior. While a part of me is sad about not having a temple marriage and getting sealed together I have hope that this could change while we are on this earth and I have faith in an ever-loving Father in Heaven who is kind and just and will be able to provide a way for my family to live together in the eternities.
He's so used to me saying that I sometimes wonder why he even has to ask. I just found your blog. This can be a good way to learn more about your personalities. It would be foolish to acquiesce a Mormon girl to drink coffee. So I came across this post and I was wondering if you ladies could give me some advice. I won't lie, there are times I have said to myself "what am I doing living like this. With such high standards of perfection, Mormon girls want a man who validates their efforts and confidently provides directionвa man who expects them to be beautiful. I only hate one thing in the planet, and that's the Mormon church.
