Hello, Everyone. I meet a girl and found out she is a Mormon.
Can we have a future together like getting married with out me joining this cult?

about 95% in favor of an adverse outcome;

one factor May be how far she's into it?
the quick/dirty way to estimate:

how long has she been LDS?

been on a mission?

family & friends?


Mormonism is MORE than a religion; a lot of generational baggage goes with it.

just sayin'

Oh, and btw: just because the two of you may be doin' the Mattress Mambo DOESN'T MEAN she's given up on ChurchCo or its doctrine/sayings!

Your post is way too general to give any fair comment, honestly. The only truthful answer is "who knows?"

How long have you been dating exclusively? How religious is her family? Have the two of you discussed important compatibility topics such as faith, kids, etc? If so, where do both of you stand on those topics, and how did each of you react to the other when confronted with opinions you didn't like?

you're really the only one who can decide that. Make the decision to research the organization from all angles and decide if it's something you could do. If you decide it's not for you, tell her early on and save yourself the trouble.

Some people can manage that type of relationship, but I'll be honest, it can really add a lot of stress.

Thanks for the quick replies, We just known each other for one mth now. She has been in the church for a year. I know she is a coffee
drinker.

It would be best to ask a "Magic 8 Ball" and do whatever it tells you.

Sure it can happen! It happened to me! I was LDS and met my "now-husband" who wasn't LDS and told me flat out that he would never convert and wasn't interested in my religion. I was as "Molly Mormon" as an LDS girl could be. We dated and are now married, he never converted, but I managed to "deconvert" myself!

Doesn't sound like it, but she's a new convert, and she maybe open to learning more about what she got herself into.
Or she may have her sights set on some guy taking her to the temple to get married. She doesn't know anything about that, but she has probably been told that's a worthy goal.

I know someone who has been married for 25 years and is still not converted to his wife's faith, Mormonism.

But how would you feel about any children being raised as Mormons?
