1 I think if you share your feelings with like women you would be surprised at the sympathy you would get in raising a family and the stresses involved. 2 I am a successful, albeit male professional. I make a good 6 figure income, I have a good career and a good life. BUT at the end of the day I WON'T say to myself when I'm retired I WISH I HAD SPENT MORE TIME AT THE OFFICE. Enjoy your children, they ar gifts from God.

In any lawsuit the attorneys sue everyne who could conceivably have any money and was in any way involved in the problem. This has nothing to do with the church, the member whose home is involved or the member lawyer. It's all SOP. If your father was a licensed contractor and very legit as you state he would have had insurance for just these sort of contingencies. Let the insurance company handle the lawsuit.

I have never, nor will I ever buy a dress for my wife! That would be disastrous! Of course we don't wear garments when participating in many sporting activities. You've got your sports, and I've got mine.:-)

Newton was a closet Arianist, a belief that would have led to great persecution had he openly preached it to others. The Arianist doctrine which was replaced by the Trinitarian at the Nicean council was a bone of contention in the Church for literally hundreds of years. But Constantine decided that the Trinity fit his Greek beliefs more, and the rest as they say is history................................!

Not if you continue to drive over nails.

Glen Beck is first and foremost a Libertarian. Libertarians believe that social justivce is best achieved by a lessez-faire attitude that leaves social activism in the dustbin of history. I would not take his comments as anti-religion per se, but as an anti-liberal rant. Some Catholics and Protestant denominations are very liberal and activist in their beliefs, and try to influence policy in the US by force of political numbers and activism.

There is no church doctrine AFAIK about this, but there have been statements over the years by various GAs and others regarding the "problems" of cultural differences. Frankly, if one has married in the temple to another worthy member, isn't that the same culture??? Both share the same basic beliefs about family, religion and how to live etc, etc. So I'm not sure what "intercultural" means as applied to members unless it means marrying outside the faith. I married a woman from another country, and we seem to have survived 35+ years so far and had 4 kids. Two of whom married persons from other countries......but then I live in California which is a big melting pot of "cultures".:)

There is no chance of this ever happening. Only One knows the future. I can't belive the number of replies to the Troll post.

Yeah, well no one could access the website.

All dating an RM does is improve the odds....hopefully.

This is not a good tax system because as a percentage of income it falls mostly on the poor, who need to spend almost all their income just to live.. God's way is the best, a % of gross that falls in equal percentages on rich and poor alike. The rich pay more in absolute $$ because they have more.

Saguaro has a point. What if your daughteer decides to marry a non member--like mine did. I've found that once your kids reach a certain age, they are really beyond certain "controls". Ideally I would have arranged marraiges for each of them. I would only have picked one spouse out of four so far. Unfortunately we live in a "free" country, and each child is free to make their own mistakes.

You are not a porn addict. Most guys have looked at it whether they will admit it on this forum or not. So I don't perceive that as the real issue. In fact the situation appears to be so complex that I don't have any answers for you at all. BUT I will say this: get some sort of counselling. A good friend of mine was divorced twice before he sought counselling, and by following the counselor's advice and correcting some things about himself his third marraige has now lasted for over 25 happy years.

Some really good women on this forum...........reminds me of the Oscar Wilde quote........ My dear father, if we men married the women we deserved... we should have a very bad time of it.

It is marraige and that's certainly important. But we are talking about Four Years of bad behavior. People don't change that readily, and bad habits are very hard to break. Leaving can be a wake up call, and not necessarily final. It's the only lever she has left, and remember she was very young when first married. .

I don't think it's necessary. You have repented and forsaken the sin. I agree you are not addicted, and never were. Addicts have a behavior pattern that they will forsake all else but the addiction. Your pattern is not that of an addict.:)

You ARE married to an immature baby. Leave him now before you have any children and find an actual Man to marry. I don't think you need to waste a lot of time and money in counselling to arrive at a proper conclusion with this jerk.

Time heals all wounds as they say. My experience in the church tells me that the average LDS jumps into marraige too fast. Nine months is not very long, and I'm certainly an advocate of "4 season" courtship ie. seeing someone through an entire annual cycle of holidays, vacations and normal stressful life! Take your time. Have you dated other men since your divorce? Participated in singles activities as part of a group? Had a chance to meet a lot of other men? Talking marraige after only 9 months seems like a lack of maturity and life experience to me. You were married very young, and a lot of normal growing up over the last 4 years has passed you by. You have not had the normal life experiences of someone your age because of your bad marraige. I reiterate..................take your time.

Totally untrue. I take them out all the time.

He had not yet attained perfection. That came after the resurrection.

Since the road to exhaltation is through marraige it is logical in LDS doctrine that the Christ was married. After all the Christ was baptized so why shouldn't He have been married too? It has been postulated that the marraige in Cana was His wedding (His mother was evidently in charge). It also strikes me as significant that the first person to see Him after the crucifixion was Mary Magdalene-even before any of the apostles! Of course there is no scriptural evidence of His marraige, but logic says that it must be so.

I wouldn't marry any one that deep into debt. You're not being a snob, just smart and prudent. And remember that once you are married any bankruptcy would affect BOTH of your finances on any thing you decide to buy together (such as a home). Unless you could afford a home on only your credit, you would be precluded from buying one for a long time if he has filed bankruptcy. In addition the law has changed regarding most student loans...it may not be possible to discharge it in bankruptcy. A wise man once said...never go into partnership with anyone who has more problems than you do. Because when adversity arises, they have nothing to lose, while you do.

Your older kids are big enough to be on their own so I would get at least 2 tents. Buy the best you can afford if you want them to last. Coleman is a good brand. I have one that is 35 years old this year and still going strong after only minor repairs. I have give it to one of my sons. I don't think you will find good quality at Wally World. Go to a decent sporting goods store.

You obviously missed the headline in today's Wall Street Journal that stated factories are about to begin hiring again.

This is true. Remember that by Eternal, Mormons mean as often as not, "Godlike" because Eternal is another name for God. When we are perfected, we will be like Him. John 3:2.
