  1. thank you you guys!
  2. I just wanted to add, that it doesn't matter if the wife thought she'd be able to lean on her husband's testimony and vice versa. That's marriage -- that's family. That's how it works. Everyone is more then likely going to have weak times. And she may have thought that looking at your Catholic roots would remind you of why you chose to not be Catholic, and chose to be LDS. That was a choice, and it's a hard choice to keep. The reason why that is perhaps not a good idea, and why she changed her mind is---what has been the result? Did it do as she probably suspected? I have offered my convert husband to seek out a church he'd be more comfortable in accepting, when he has also has concerns about Joseph Smith and the Word of Wisdom. (he is leaning towards his father's "no organized religion" philosphy though.) Even as I said it, I wasn't sure I could follow that. And after talking to others, both LDS and others (evangelical) may have worked out why that was and why that scared me.) It really does boil down to: eternity versus til death. My husband says I'm the most important thing to him, and he wants forever. It's really hard to believe that sometimes though when his actions/choices are saying for life only. I really do believe that he doesn't realize that is what he is saying. Best wishes.
  3. Hello! I found this forum today and decided to join. I'm a happy mom to two boys. My husband is inactive, and not sure what he believes. He was a new convert when wed. (In fact, he gave up much to start a life with me.) I try to stay strong, but it's hard when the only thing you want is your family forever and don't have that temple promise. I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends.
