Thank you all for the welcoming and encouraging words. My wife doesn't accept that I follow the Spirit of God and return to the Church. She argued with me today that it is an evil spirit that's leading me stray. I told her that we can focus on the shared beliefs that we do have, and she said that ecumenism is of the Devil. That I'm a mega-apostate. I then asked her to just respect my beliefs, and she reluctantly said that it was going to be hard for her to do that. Regarding the children, she told me that we will confuse them if we both teach them different- and contradictory- doctrines. She then said she would leave it in God's hands. I feel so overwhelmed. To her, it's her way or no way. But she claims it is not HER way, but God's way. How can I argue with that, with an opinion? I'm not trying to convert her.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I grew up a Cultural Roman Catholic, and three years ago my wife and I were baptized LDS. We were active for almost a year and a half, but I struggled a lot to really believe in all the doctrines. So we left the church. Since then, my wife has turned into a Fundamentalist, Bible-only Evangelical Christian. This, instead of bringing me closer to God and to her, has made me want to go back to Mormonism. To put it mildly, Mormons are liberals compared to the attitude my wife has right now. Anti-everything-that-is-not-Evangelical-Christian: so anti-Catholic, anti-Mormon, anti-JW, anti-a-lot-of-things. That's not the path I want to follow. Today I met with the missionaries because I want to become active again. After following my wife to Evangelical Christianity, and through several denominations this last year, including non-denominational, Baptist, Pentecostal, Apostolic, Messianic Judaism, I truly believe that Mormonism is the best path for me, spiritually, and I love the social support system that the Church offers, even if I don't truly understand all its doctrines. (Then again, I don't really agree with all the doctrines of other Christian denominations). I need support on how to deal with an inter-faith marriage, family. We have two children, 7 and 3. My wife says I can choose the path I want, but she's reluctant to let me take the children back to the church. Thank you for your time! Looking forward to your advice, and spiritual support. En Cristo, Fronterizo
