TalkativeIntrovert Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Hi, dipping my toe in here with an intro. I married an inactive morman, I didn't even know what that meant, certainly knew nothing about the Church, in all our time going out together the subject of religion didn't come up. When we had our children I started to look into taking the kids to church as I thought it important for them to have a christian upbringing and to learn for themselves so they could make their own informed decisions when the time came. I looked at the church closest to us, Anglican I think, as that what my parents did. My husband said that he would support me but would not join as there is only 1 true church and, despite being inactive, would not go against that belief. It was the first time I had heard those words "true church" and the first I knew he had such a strong opinion. Anyhoo, I procrastinated, as I often do, and we did nothing. A series of events then happened - without planning or intent we visited the temple lights at Christmas, managed to have a book of Mormon in the house and 2 missionaries turned up on our doorstep. My husband insists that he had nothing to do with any of that, and I believe him as he is still inactive! Of course I was baptised and my husband supports my decision and will accompany us to church events and sometimes to sacrament. For a few years he too went back to the church and we were sealed in the temple with our children. Though he fell away again - as have I a few times. I thought I would join here as I enjoy chatting on forums online and I thought a Mormon focussed site would help keep me on the straight path and focussed on the end goal. My name - Talkative Introvert came about because I can be very wordy and talkative online, but in real life I am incredibly shy and find it hard to engage with people. This is partly because I have always been like that and partly because I have developed a disability that I wear on my face, making me self conscious. Quote
Windseeker Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Welcome! My best friend married an Aussie and lives in Melbourne. He's not active either even though he served a mission. Hope you enjoy the forum. Quote
