I don't believe in the one, single soulmate thing...I believe there are multiple people of the opposite sex that a person could potentially marry....It's mostly a matter of compatibility...but don't follow my advice, as I've been married in the temple twice and divorced twice...
This must be a very devastating situation to deal with. I endured a long-term childless marriage where the only thing getting bred was latent resentment. You are both still so very young and I hope some resolution can be found in the near future . For a marriage to grow, the dynamics have to change over the long-term and the best way to do that is by having children--if that is physically possible, which appears to be so in your case. My prayers are with you!
Who remembers the uproar at BYU in the 1980's about printing a portrait of a clean-shaven Brother Brigham on the cover of the cover of the student telephone directory? A full-bearded Brigham wouldn't have been in harmony with the dress and grooming standards there...I found it really ironic to say rhe least!
Not a woman, so of course not in a position to say yeah or nay to the concept of a baby shower, but I did spend nearly two decades in a marriage where conception was never a possibilty, but I do say go bask in the momen..you'll have earned it after 9 months of carrying your child to full term!
Funny, I have a miniature version of the Gingerbread Man from Shrek that I got out of Kinder Egg that I collected--it's a hollow chocolate egg with a plastic yolk inside, containing toys, puzzles, figures, etc..
You might be Mormon if....you stayed after at your own wedding reception to help clean up...rather than racing to the hotel/motel to consumate the marriage!
