I joined the church 3+ years ago. My husband of over 16 years was inactive for 14 years but now we are both active. His two children from a previous marriage are now active again as well. I have went to the temple and received my endowments. We recently went through the process of cancelling my husbands sealing to his ex-wife and gaining permission for us to be sealed. I attended my first sealing of one of our former missionaries that served our area. We are scheduled to get sealed in just under 4 weeks.
During the sealing ceremony I remember the officiant say you are now lawfully married for time and all eternity, do they change that if you are already married? Because that will not be true in my case. I have been lawfully married for lots of years.
Also, will they really say "be fruitful and multiply" to a 45 year old women? I asked that question to a member yesterday and he looked at me and said, are you sure you won't? I'm like yes...I mean really I've known since I was 20-21... That having children was not in the cards for me. Now I'm also helping my son(step-son) plan his wedding and I'm looking forward to being a grandma . Sorry I got off on a tangent, do they really tell older couples to be fruitful and multiply?
i have not had the best experiences going to the temple. I love my husband and have always known we will be together for ever, but want to have this be a positive experience.
