We are not judged only for what we do but why we do it. I will have to keep you update on where we match. My family is pretty awesome in the church. 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. My sisters married to the temple served a mission etcв. The dots are extremely close for every LDS person, its just extremely hard to connect them. And if you can make it to the Tree of Life and still be with your partner, guess what.
I've been married to a doctor for 5 years now been together for 11 years and he is in his first year of Anaesthetics. Why Mormons are not sexist. She is a returned missionary, and won't Marry you if you want to stay atheist. This makes them overwhelmingly successful wives and mothers.
