Divorced women run into the same problems. I have a daughter who was married for 3 years and has two young boys. She would love to be married to someone who would actually take her to the temple. Her ex-husband made promises he had no intention of keeping. She has been divorced for 4 years and has tried the LDS dating sites. She has had some truly awful experiences. (Many guys on those sites are not what they pretend to be.) She also has dated a couple of guys who seemed to be a perfect fit, but in the end, they weren't ready to have children in their lives. (IMO, when a guy is 30, he should be ready.) She's attractive and would make a wonderful wife. She already is a wonderful mother. The problem is trying to find good men who are willing to be men. She feels that ,"most guys today are not ready to grow up." They want to have fun, hang out with their buddies and place their families in 3rd or 4th place in their lives. She would be willing to date a divorced man or one who had never married. My daughter has been hurt and she also has trust issues, but she is determined to put them behind her when she meets a good and righteous man. Her sons encourage her to find them a ,"good daddy." She won't try the LDS websites again, but I'm not sure how she's going to meet the right guy any other way. I wish I could do more to help her, but I'm at a loss.

I'm new to this board, but what I see looks very interesting and often very uplifting. I'm not new to the Church, I've always known it was true. I served a mission to Germany when there were still two German countries. My wife and I have been married 35 years and our four children are now grown. We have 4 grandchildren with 1 more expected in late September. I've served in the Sunday School, Primary(my favorite), Elder's Quorum, High Priest's Group, Bishopric and in the Stake Presidency through the years. I became ill with a chronic illness about 9 years ago and had to "retire" due to my illness. It wasn't something I had scheduled into my planner, but I guess these things are almost always unexpected. Sacrament Meeting is about the only meeting I can attend these days and I only get there about once or twice a month. Sitting or standing for very long is really hard. But, I've grown closer to the Lord in the last few years than ever before. I've done a lot of Family History research and submitted quite a few family names to the Temple and often "know" which families are waiting for their work to be done and how to find their information. My wife reads the microfilm rolls in our local Family History Library and helps with the research and with TempleReady. I look forward to meeting others and perhaps helping with questions on occasion. OldAngel
