For every lesson and sermon preached about loving everyone, there are one or two lessons on avoiding outsiders because they will destroy your eternity. I could get a small jigsaw puzzle and send those pieces once a day. There is no such thing as a perfect Mormon family- regardless of whether the parents are sealed or not. He's just wrapping up his first year. And also I thought it was weird she wore some kind of pants that come to her knees under her other pants, but I never asked about that. He fit me- does that make sense.
If you are very much willing to accept and understand all of these, whether you are a Mormon or not, you can expect that it is fun to date a Mormon girl. Mormonism is simply too unaccepting of mixed relationships. No easy answers here. Being a doctor means you sacrifice for others, and your family and spouse sacrifices while standing in the shadows of your career. When my husband and I were sealed, I finally understood why my Dad had been stressing this to me my entire life. Will he be happy knowing that you are giving up something of incredible importance to you. How is that gonna work. He is dealing with the aftermath of a failed suicide while I spend my time trying to keep busy at home. The important thing is that you are getting to know one another, not that you are always doing fancy things.
My husband and I have been married for about 4 years and together since we were undergrads, before he chose medicine as his profession. When you said that the doctor spouse sacrifices for their patients and their family sacrifices for the doctor's career, it really described my situation. Dude just to summarize what I think is the majority of the comments. I know the majority of them are great, but there are so many who are like vultures and will latch on to any male doctor like he is theirs. The LDS Church meets many of the criteria for cult behavior.
Always taking care of our two daughters single handedly is. What am I getting myself into. All these are reasons to have some serious discussions. You're walking into a den of crazy, tbm bishop's daughter, I hate to say it but you should really be contemplative about what you're stepping into. A lot of Mormons think that good people will obviously recognize the truthfulness of the church and quickly join. I actually had one of my friends say to me, " why are you worried about what he is doing when you aren't there he spends hundreds of dollars on you when you are there who cares that he hasn't texted you". Most want nothing to do with the church. In my home ward, the non-member son of one of the members of the Bishopbric was able to stand up with the Priesthood and hold his baby girl while they gave her baby blessing.
