Thank you for stating that, james12! As to your question, cwilli24, the important thing to consider is not "what punishment will I receive?", it's "am I willing to do whatever it takes to fully repent of what I've done?" You may be excommunicated (not to use this as a way to get a plug in for my blog, but I wrote an entry on this very topic, here) to prevent the further breaking of your temple covenants. If that happens, you mustn't feel like you're being punished. If you read nothing else (in my blog post or elsewhere), I hope it's that excommunication is a form of saving grace, to prevent further damage from being done to yourself; too many people consider it a punishment when that's not actually what it is. With hard work, devotion and doing what you know is right, along with some fervent prayers, I know you'll be able to pull through this and be sealed with her in the temple - good luck!
