Now 13 years later, my son is a teenager. I was happy to read your blog. Now I try to put myself in his shoes and he has always had a problem standing firm in any decision so its hard for him to say no. My husband's extramarital relationships were well-known in the hospital where he practiced.
However, and this might sound sad. Right now she won't even watch a movie. Even without temple covenants marriage is a noble and worthy institution. Mormons who marry other Mormons in Mormon temples have a 6. I'll keep digging through it, but there's a lot there and I'd like some suggestions to narrow my search. Reason being - he wants our relationship to be spontaneous like it was before the pre-med things really "kicked in". She views patriarchy as a quality of God. If you go yourself, you'll see - those people are good people.
It does not come from common religion or personality or even values; it only comes through mutual self transcendence. My sisters married to the temple served a mission etcв. And the you've seen the CES letter.
I'm glad you both have found a way to get past the incredible forces that are working against you. Honestly, it isn't her fault. You will be expected to condone but not attend events in the temple to which you will not be granted access. This is right for me and for us. Want to add to the discussion.
