I have resigned from the church. My wife has not yet, but is fully planning on it but not until our 16 yr old daughter's either on her own (which will be in a couple years) or decides to leave too as my wife doesn't want her to feel totally abandoned. Our son is in the process of resigning.
My wife and I were married in the SLC temple 22 years ago. I have long questioned if temple sealings were really legal marraiges in the eyes of the gov't. Now that I have left, in the churches eyes, my wife and I are no longer sealed. So, if the sealing is now voided, are we still married? I cannot remember the words spoken in the ceramony if the sealer had legal authority to marry people anyway. I understand in England, temple marriages are not legal and people must get married outside the temple before getting sealed.
This is how my brain has been funtioning lately...trying to clear all the mormon shit out and detox my thought process.
