I used to work with one Mormon girl for about 3 years. So here it is about her and her Mormon family ( only Mormon family I knew personally). Freaking hypocrites I must say - her all family was from Chile who were illegal immigrants to USA and somehow got legalized through Mormon church, they lived in Provo initially before moving where I live now. So, where to start, dad was child abuser ( used to beat the crap out of poor little three girls, forced them to eat until they puke and then forced to eat whatever they puked! ) - no wonder they all got ridiculously fat. Lately he came out of closet that he is gay, got separated and now lives with his partner in Bay area. Older sister was/is drug dealer/addict/thief, single mom who does not even know who her kids father is, got involved with police numerous times and I still can't believe she did not kill anybody while DUI numerous times or ended up in jail after shoplifting. Only normal person in that family was younger sister who to my knowledge did not do anything crazy as of yet. Mom is typical toxic parent/bully who always tried to influence mature daughters no matter what they were trying to do. Lol, she threatened to kill herself once if one of those sisters will marry foreigner and give up her USA citizenship. Middle sister who used to work with me was the real story - always was telling me that she can't drink hot drinks ( tea, coffee ) because of her religion, but had no problems drinking alcohol, smoking and partying every weekend. Recently got married but before that had no problem cheating on her fiance with girls ( yes she admitted that she was bisexual ) and even had threesome with random couple she met at the bar one night. Yet had no problem telling me at work how devoted Mormon she is and that she goes to church every Sunday. I knew she had mental health issues as she was always on antidepressants and tried to slice her veins few times so she might not be the best example but as I am telling you know all that family except youngest sister was freaking ridiculous.

When I was dating my wife, it was important to me that she be an active, believing LDS member, for many of these same reasons. I'd add to the list that common goals are vitally important to a marriage, and sharing a faith helps with that. I'd modify your reason number 3, though, which is that (as you likely also believe) temple sealings between husband and wife can occur after the initial marriage, even after death if need be.

I agree with everything you said. For me, I have felt that I should make that covenant now, maybe I wont get a second chance.

Does it make you mad that she wouldn't marry you cause you're not mormon?
 
Ill rephrase the question, and replace "Mormons" with Muslims.


Its a question I would love to put off at this point in my life, as it is something that is extremely tough to answer. The Muslim community of Edmonton is typically clustered in terms of nationality, and unfortunately the Albanian Muslims are typically the least pious of these clusters (with obvious exceptions of course). As a result, I often distance myself from the Albanian community of Edmonton, and typically surround myself mostly with your run-of-the-mill normal kids that I go to college with, and what not (regardless of what faith they are). As a result, I have already been accustomed to have flings here and there with non-Muslim girls. Why? Gods, are the amount of attractive Muslim girls in Edmonton ever so goddamn low. But besides the obvious, I just haven't met a Muslim girl in my life yet that not only hold values that I respect, but is also an independent, intelligent thinker, with a good head on her shoulders, coupled with a great personality.



Quite frankly, I want my children to become Muslim, and to be raised with similar values that I find important. However, without a strong backing from a community, I find that this becomes hard to maintain. So, I find myself thinking that either I have to move with my family to a more Muslim community, or I'll continue to live more of a "Dalamon's interpretation of the Islamic faith" lifestyle, which is strict in some areas, more relaxed in others. At this point of my life, obviously the latter seems more important; however, things could obviously change.


Regardless, I seriously think that I would have great troubles with marrying a Christian girl, especially when kids get involved. ****, its just such a hard issue to think about. Religion makes me scratch my head more than any other subject, in all honesty.

But relationships: Well, the girl that I have liked the most in my entire life thus far was a super-Christian girl. An absolute angel, she is.

yeah, Christian girls don't fly with me either.

I don't want a raging atheist (although that would be preferable if I had just two options), but someone who is enchanted with THIS WORLD. It's a ****ing travesty how hard it is to find people like that.
 
Yeah, I think I'm more in GVC's and NAOS' camp here, so to speak. I was never baptized and am therefore no religion though I do find them sort of fascinating and have a strong respect for faith. That said, I love what NAOS said that GVC quoted. So true.
 
If you two are interested in getting wistful in the woods, I'll be up at the family house, mostly alone, for the next month or so.
