My husband's ex was not active in the church till after she and my husband divorced so when they were married the church was not apart of their lives. my husband joined the church after he and his ex divorced. and you can only get sealed to both of your parents if you are seal together. So My husband and I got sealed and his ex and her husband got sealed. so it was one way or the other. How our stake president explained it is that somewhere along the line me, or his ex or him or his ex's husband has a family connection that seals us all together as one big family. Kind of like a chain link fence. Just because my husband is not sealed to his children like in the temple, under the sealing covenant we are all sealed together.

Yea we are trying to not do the you got this so we get that. My husband does get to baptise and do any blessing for the kids also. So that also is more of the trade off. I just see the kids in my ward who switch back and forth and they just are not as strong as the other kids. I feel l ike it's because they don't have a sense of belonging to one ward or the other. The kids are 10 7 and 6 . They want more time with us and we don't want to mess up their school schedule so this is kind of the only option.

My husband and I have been married for 2 years now. He is a convert and his ex started to go back to church after she left him. Their arrangement was for each parent to have the kids go to church with them every other Sunday. I feel like that is hard on the kids as they dont' have a sense of belonging to one ward. I feel like when the kids get older it will be harder for them to hold callings and fully participate in both the wards. We would love to have them go to church full time with us. The kids were sealed to their mom and new husband, not because we couldn't get sealed, but because their mother refused to let them be sealed to us (particularly me) And we knew the importance of the sealing covenant so we decided to give up that and have them be sealed to their mom. So we feel like this is a good trade off. Is since they got sealed to their mom, we get to have the kids full time for church. What does anyone else think?
