I live in an area where most of the opposite sex do not follow the same beliefs that LDS people do. Dating is hard for someone who is LDS because the opposite sex is always into something I cannot go along with. Many times, even the members are into things they should not be.
My question is: if I am trying as hard as I can to pursue an eternal marriage, but am unsuccessful, will the Lord punish me?
I am living worthy, but I won't budge when it comes to the church's standards. I also have heard that if a member does not get married then they cannot enjoy the fullness of our Heavenly Father's blessings. (I'm an older single and worried.)
What do you think?
