In many ways, she was everything that I ever wanted in a spouse, but in other ways she was not what I ever expected. Mormons love to have fun, but they prefer keeping it clean, respectful, and something that everyone can enjoy. If He can answer prayers to help you find missing car keys, He surely can help you understand who it is that you should marry.

I forgot to add, that if you marry and alow your children to be raised as Mormon, chances are you wont be able to be at their wedding because it will be in the temple. Although there are no strict rules as to who should do the asking, the Mormons are very conservative and in general, they expect guys to do the asking.
Interesting to read the concerns of so many doctor's wives. I'm no doctor so what am I supposed to do twiddle my thumbs in our room while he gets back. Most couples who are married where one is a Mormon and the other isn't, usually stems from a situation where they both were married in the temple, then one of them lost their faith sometime after that. At least not until they're I reserve the right to refute any teaching that I see as harmful. I have been dating a surgeon and we are thinking about marriage.
