jrebello Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Hello, everyone My name is Joy and I am in North Georgia. I am married and have one child. I am currently a SAHM, but I was a teacher. I am trying to return to the church. My parents joined in the late 70s or very early 80s. They quickly fell away. Fast-forward a few years. My husband and I tried to decide on a family religion. As I knew very little about being LDS and he was a non-observant cradle Catholic, we decided upon Catholicism. Without going into much detail, his "enthusiasm" didn't last long. Anyway, after much investigation I am considering returning to church. I've been trying to go back to church, talking to the missionaries and such. My husband doesn't like it at all, but he's not willing to compromise either. I would like to find others who can strenghten me on my journey and who would like to be my friend. Quote
rameumptom Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Glad to have you here. Catholicism is a good Church, and if your husband is following its principles, it will fit well with you being LDS. You will have Christ and the scriptures to share and enjoy together. Quote
Truegrits Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Hi Joy :) WELCOME I live in south Georgia.I was "born" LDS, but became inactive in my early 20's. When I decided to go back to church, I was (am) married to a non-member and had a young son. My husband did not choose to go with us, but did not in any way discourage it. He was at our sons baptism, and fully supports his up-coming mission. I regularly go to the Temple, and sometimes he is the one that takes me. So, even though he will (probably) never join me in my faith, he has made it a non-issue in our marriage.There are several others in my ward that are members, and their spouses are not. Some of the spouses will attend all the social events, but not come on Sunday.It may, at times, be challenging going/doing this without your husband by your side, but for me the other option, of not being able to live my faith, would be miserable.
