  1. Woah this thread just took a turn to a whole new place ?...thank you everyone for all your comments. I never intended this to become a war, just trying to get more insight into a practice I’m not familiar with. I have gained a lot of insight. I will be sealed to my husband whether he is sealed to his ex because no matter what I want to be with him for eternity. God will take care of the rest. ❤️
  2. Thank yOu @MormonGator and @Carborendum☺️. At the risk of sound cheesy I am truly the lucky one. And if I can live now and for eternity returning the love he gives me I will forever be grateful to do so.
  3. The answer is a little of both. I’m human, and selfishness to hold MY husband as mine only is natural. And I feel marriage is between one man and one woman as God designed it. But IF I had to share him I would want it to be with someone that also loves him as he should be loved. Unlike his former wife.
  4. Perhaps it is hard to empathize if you’ve never been in my situation and it’s easy to say how we think would act in a situation. And yes maybe it is selfish. The idea of sealing is so very new to me. And sounds very permanent. Given free agency I have no doubt my husband wants me and only me for his eternal companion. The idea of sealing made it sound as if he didn’t have a choice. I have no doubt that God will make things right in Heaven and what he ordains will be. But I also believe He has given me the knowledge and the love for my husband to do all things possible here on earth to bring us closer together and closer to Him. And He knows my heart, my weakness and my strengths and my husband is all three. So yes the idea of having him sealed to someone who doesn’t love him or appreciate him is hard for me to bare. I feel God has spoken in my heart to find out more about this process and His plan for myself and my husband.
  5. @wenglund thank you. yes I am very aware that for now and forever she is apart of our life. Which I have no problem with. I just don’t want to share my husband with her as a joined covenant.
  6. @wenglund yes. My husband has already spoken to our bishop and was told that even if a cancellation is granted that that doesn’t cancel his sealing to his children. Again, a cancellation is very unlikely in my situation so we are just happy to get a clearance but I wasn’t sure exactly what that mean as far as eternal companionship. This isn’t something my husband or I are going into with out much thought or prayers. We feel that our sealing is important for our marriage and for our family (including the children).
  7. @person0 perhaps your right. But the thought of sharing my husband with anyone now or for eternity is heartbreaking. I feel marriage is created to make us holier. My convenient between myself and my husband is a sacred thing and can’t see having to share that with anyone especially someone who already had their chance to create a celestial marriage with my spouse and chose otherwise.
  8. I know my husband doesn’t carry a flame for his ex. That’s why he would prefer a cancellation if possible, but was told that only a clearance is allowed unless his ex remarried. I’m still learning. And the process of sealing, cancellation and clearance are all so new to me. My husband keep reassuring me that it will be just him and I in heaven and the Heavenly Father will make it all right. This is not based on a fear of my husband carrying a torch. Rather, my marriage being a holy union between myself and my spouse through eternity. And like most people I don’t want to have to think about someone else (whoever it should be) getting the same privileges as me his wife for all of eternity when that person didn’t cherish the covenant they made.
  9. So I’m new to the church and plan to be sealed to my husband who is sealed to his ex wife. He is going to apply for a clearance. But it’s my understanding that unless she remarried and asked for a cancellation they will be sealed for eternity also. This bothers me. I understand that the doctrines were created for one marriage but that isn’t always the case. And we are certain his ex does not plan to ask for a cancelation. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
