Mormomism hurts relationships/marriage

I think it's called being "unequaly yoked together". At least, with the limited information given. Sorry
 
I have many, many friends that are Mormons. They are wonderful Christians, they put God in front of everything. With that said, I'm not sure I could have a marriage relationship with a Mormon, I'm not sure I could conform and I certainly would not expect them to.

Like JR said, it's impossible unless you are "yoked together". Everything happens for a reason PCGOP, we don't always know what that reason is but... remember when God closes one door, he opens another. Keep going forward, walk over that threshold and see what's on the other side. :love
 
Sorry about your marriage, Chris. :(

But as others have mentioned; it's probably more the religious conflict than the religion itself.

Dunno the situation, but I hope you can fix it.
 
Well we weren't married but were engaged. Nevertheless, my research found numerous examples of how this church has interfered directly and indirectly with relationships. But we should remember that God didn't create "religion", or denominations, etc. He is the church and the issue of marriage is really between you, the one you marry and God. God's only requirement is that you believe in Him, follow Him, and be saved by the blood of His Son. We are also to beware of false teachers, prophets and to test the spirits.

I have learned a great deal about Mormonism both on a personal level and through research in the past 6 months and I can see why it would hurt relationships.

But anyway, she is gone now. I don't hate her, I still care for her but I am angry at the situation.

Chris,

I'm with Jack on this one. You know what the Bible says about being "unequally yoked". Despite what they would have you believe, Mormonism is not a Christian sect, but is false teaching. I know you may not feel this way now, but perhaps it is for the best.
 
Not that I'm trying to get too personal, so don't feel obligated to respond, but were you aware of her religious beliefs when you first got together?

Yep, I did and she knew I wasn't going to change. But to be honest, I didn't understand all of the mormonism stuff until now. But now that I have experienced it and done a ton of research on it, it is not a good sect to be involved in, especially when it interferes with relationships and must do what they(men) say you have to do that is not biblical.
 
I don't know a whole lot about Mormonism, but I am sorry that it hurt your relationship.
 
I remember when they tried to recruit me once. No booze, no smoking and no caffeine. It was the worst five minutes of my life.

Sorry about the GF but I'll bet in six months you'll feel completely different than you do right now.

I am feeling better. We do talk though. We spoke today. But I cannot convince those who grew up with mormonism that the truth will set them free. But although I am deeper in debt because of all of this, I did what I could to help her.
