  1. God created us in His image and He is perfect. We are human and thus not perfect because we can be tempted. I agree that Satan has been guiding society in order to breed more contention between the sexes. In the scriptures it says that a man and woman must enter into an eternal marriage to attain higher glory in heaven, if God mean for these differences to keep us apart, then they would be more than just opinions and such. After all, it takes a man and a woman to bring a life into this world.
  2. Read your Patriarchal Blessing if you have it, talk to your Branch President or Bishop of the situation and remember that you will still be able to serve a Senior Mission (about 60 years from now) if you decide to marry her and adopt little Mahonri as your own child.
  3. I will pray for you to make the best decision that you can. What you are asking (as I understand your question) is if you should stay with your husband who has no testimony of his own beliefs and merely does as he was taught, and possibly sacrifice your own testimony to keep him happy, or should you care more for yours and your daughters eternal souls and happiness while you are here on earth. I advise that you talk with the missionaries again and the Branch President or Bishop where you attend church at (I'm not talking about Mass). Six years ago, I had a co-worker go through a very similar situation except she was pregnant with their first, one day after she had made the decision to get baptised and confirmed as a member, her husband stormed into where we worked, drunk and very angry. He yelled to the whole business that he would rather she be dead then become a mormon, and tried to attack her. Unfortunately for him, one of the customer's in the business at the time was an Iraq War veteran who taught self defense classes at the local Y, and stopped him before he could touch her. Now, I'm not saying your husband will become violent if you get baptised, or even that he might. I have already stated my advice and told you of my co-workers trial and hope and pray you will make the best decision for you and your daughter. P.S. My great-grandma used to say "It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind as often and/or drastically as she wants, and the only thing a man can do, is try to keep her happy." My great-grandparents were married for nearly 80 years, they both died in their sleep less than 2 hours apart with less than a week before their 80th anniversary.
  4. I would have to say that you should make it clear to the girl you are currently dating that you are not yet ready for marriage and are still trying to find a match to your Desirable Traits list (a list of traits that you find desirable in your future Eternal Wife i.e., non-gambler, non-drinker, non-smoker, faithful in going to church and keeping the sabbath day holy, ect.,). Write a list such as this and compare every girl you date to it, and always enquire if they have such a list themselves. This is the same answer a friend of mine got when we went to a YSA Regional Conference in 2011, and Br. and Sistr. Osman (I think I spelled their name right) were there and teaching a workshop on successful marriages.
  5. I am of the opinion that vort is a very smart person and may have attained such wisdom from witnessing the various situations that others have gone through. Adultery is a serious sin and should be talked about with your Bishop as well as having your wife present when you do. Yes, you have broken a promise to your wife *AND* the Lord, and the longer you go without telling your wife what happened the more it will hurt her when she does find out, whether that's in your time on earth or at your Judgement and how much the knowledge of this affair will hurt her is up to you. Omegaseamaster75 is advocating for the easy solution and not the right one, this is the same thing that Lucifer did before he was cast from heaven with a third of the hosts. Lucifer said he would make us all obey him and return to God as perfect as when we left (doing what was easy), but God's plan was for us to exercise our agency and *CHOOSE* to come back to Him ourselves (doing what is right). You say you served an honorable mission, so you should already know what you should do, if you're still not sure, then reflect back to your days as a missionary and ask yourself what your mission president would have told you if you had done this as a missionary. I have given you my advice and now the *CHOICE* is up to you. Do what is *RIGHT* or do what is *EASY*.
  6. No the two are not comparable. His 5 years of adultery are from his own choices and not from a natural part of his biology. In Primary class and on through the ages of maturity (no I'm not mentioning on of the *MAJOR TABOO SUBJECTS* a Lady's age) we are taught that we will be punished for our *OWN* transgressions, his adultery was *HIS CHOICE*, your PMS is a natural part of your biology and wonderful blessing(s) that come with it of being able to give birth to children and bring more spirits to earth to attain their bodies. He is in the wrong with his way of thinking that you asking him for a little help when you're PMSing is just you trying be lazy. My grandpa taught me that a married couple are supposed to take care of their hose and family as a team, and that for one half of the team to do all the work is like trying to prepare a fish with a dull knife, the task will still get done but it takes twice as long and it takes more ingenuity to finish the job without ruining the fish (your house and family are the fish and you and your husband are a sharp knife when you work together). I have 2 sisters (one older and one younger) and a mother and have known them for 20+ years, so I will not say that you are "fooling yourself", my mother had an operation (trying not to brake the rules here or use any slang phrases or words) so that my little brother was the last child she would have, but she can still get moody as if she's PMSing about 12 times a year. My older sister spent a week in the hospital a couple times during hers because the cramps were so bad before she got pregnant and had my niece, and my little sister actually got an ulcer because the cramps and nausea she gets was bad and they all three get *VERY* irritable (like a cat that just got a bath in a toilet, irritable). But you can find comfort in the fact and faith that Christ has already felt your pain and knows what you are going through. I will pray for you to have strength in your times of need.

  8. Hello everyone, it's been a few years since I was last on this site (no my account wasn't suspended) and I've been so busy since then with my job (well former job, the IRS shut them down for tax evasion, insider trading and other federal white-collar crimes, and my manager and 3 other co-workers were stealing from the branch I worked at), that it wasn't until I lost my job that I actually had time for something other than work and daily living (daily living include reading my scriptures and Patriarchal Blessing everyday) and thought why not see how much (or how little) lds.net has changed.
