Meat (as well as sugar and dairy) is acidifying to the body and in order to be healthy, we need to have a slightly alkalized ph. So I'm of the opinion that meat is for cold or famine (it can take 3 days to digest) and that eating a plant-based diet is best but the Lord knows there are times of exception. There's a great book about the WofW I got from Deseret Book a while back. It was written by an apostle - John A Widstoe. It's not sold in stores but you can get it online - Deseret Book Word of Wisdom: A Modern Interpretation Paperback by John A. Widtsoe Also, I've heard rumors that some of the GA's are vegetarian fwiw. Best of health to you (and don't listen to the naysayers (i.e. family) - people tend to feel threatened when someone does something different from them).

First, I'm sorry you're struggling and I can sympathize a bit. I married the greatest guy ever and after just one month of marriage, I was wondering what I had gotten myself into. What helped is looking at my wedding photos and remembering how I felt on my wedding day. There's no question, the Spirit confirmed that our union was a good thing. Now, please read the books and blog posts others have mentioned! Also, Middle-Aged Mormon Man just had a post on his awesome site that applies - » 12 Tips to a Better Marriage – For Men (Level 1) Also, there are various personality tests online (free) that will help you understand each other better. They're fun and insightful - great for date night (hint hint). Good luck and as others have said the first year can be rough - but worth it!

First, I'm sorry you're in the grips of this. Please don't do anything drastic! I haven't had this issue myself but I would tackle this from every angle I could. It wouldn't hurt to look into "Emotion Code" (started by a member) or EFT. (check youtube for free resources) Those techniques may seem different but there aren't side effects so what's the harm? You may also benefit from reading "Remembering Wholeness" by Carol Tuttle (also a member). If anything else comes to mind, I'll post again. You can do this! Just take one day/hour at a time!
