So there's THAT to look forward to. Then I discovered that Mormons were a welcome exception to the degeneracy that pervades American women. A shitty sex life, potentially. Maybe you do, too. To me, life is all about growthвso ask yourselfвwill I grow more staying single and focusing my life on the church, or will I grow more branching out, looking at life from different perspectives, and allowing myself to see options I have not yet considered. Other lazy Mormon girls turn feminist, many thousands of them. Rights of all genders are supported here. If you are both in high school, she may refuse altogether.
The way he wanted to live his life, the family he wanted to have, the wife he dreamt of- matched the type of person I longed for. She found the perfect Mormon guy, they were married in the temple. I like to think that what you said really resonated with her. He was also a poor communicator and felt he didn't need to voice certain things, like 'I love you'. We're giving it to you straight because we hope to help you avoid the heartache many of us have experience due to the harmful teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Would you rather give up the prospect of being married in the temple, the assurance of children being raised in the church, and parts of Mormon culture for your boyfriend, or a great man for your beliefs.

You will only have a happy relationship if either you both believe in the Mormon Church, or both do not believe. Congratulations on understanding that and avoiding problems. She might not be keeping the Word of Wisdom, living according to the Law of Chastity, or attending church regularly.
You should ask yourself if you want to pursue a future partner who was raised in an environment that causes drastic sexual suppression and you may never have a healthy sex life if she is your wife. While it's true that Mormons are not one-dimensional and completely predictable, the odds of a successful relationship, given the OP's description of his girlfriend, are slim. A Mormon will tearfully and emotionally recite whichever lesson they need at the given moment. When we started dating, he was in his fellowship.
Dont aggressively try to destroy her faith but bring up philosophical thinking points. He actually wanted them to be active in a religion and thought this was a good idea. I've done the pre-med, med school, residency, etc. You can't gamble on her seeing Mormonism for the shit show that it is.
