I think that statistics will bear out that LDS people generally live better, happier, lives than the average person on the street. How do they do it? They should know. Consider the source, that's all I'm saying. Many of the people giving advice here are (based on what they've disclosed about their own lives in their own threads) not really in a good position to do so.

Multitudes, in my capacity as a priesthood leader. And you?

Based on what I've read of the advice you've given to many different people on this forum, you appear to feel that frequently.

Yes, because advising someone to follow the Lord's Law of Health is bad advice.

Outlying data points and singular anecdotes aside, my point stands. You have good reason to try to save your current marriage. The grass is NOT greener. And I'm glad you know that. Too many people on these forums will try to convince you to "ditch the zero and find a hero."

To answer the first question: Yes. It might bring them closer together. To answer the other questions: No, I didn't say that. Please don't put words in my mouth.

Nice strawman. I never said that people should get married for sex.

Um, having relations with your spouse isn't prostitution. It's kind of part of the marriage agreement.

Absolutely. I wouldn't do that to her. I know she'd be heartbroken if I did.

Oh, I wouldn't begrudge her her place in the Celestial Kingdom. I just wouldn't be interested in her after that point. I'm not implying that she'd be guilty of any sin that would require forgiveness by me or anyone else.

I don't think I would want my wife after the resurrection if I knew that she had been involved sexually with another man after my death. I don't think I'd be able to cope with that image.

Before you exercise the nuclear option of divorce, you might try giving him more intercourse, and seeing whether that helps. It's worth a shot, no?

You should probably enroll in an exercise program and see your doctor about a weight loss plan. It will help your health and make you feel better about yourself. Plus, it's kind of part of the Word of Wisdom anyway. I'll be blunt. If you're significantly overweight and getting on in years, your chance of remarriage with any guy who isn't a complete loser are vanishingly slim. Even thin older women must face the fact that their looks have faded and their value in the marriage marketplace has declined significantly relative to men their same age.

Please also, consider, OP, that some of the advice you have been heeding is from people WHO ARE NOT EVEN MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH (at least, not yet!)

My advice is the same that you'll find in the scriptures: Love your husband as Christ loves the church. Endure to the end. Do not divorce him. Divorce is not a solution.
