I agree with Joan. Your family are trying new things, which is good for personal growth. You are OK!
Your daughter might get bored with retail, and decide, on her own, to go to college. Problem solved, as far as meeting men goes. I went back to college in my late 40's and met tons of men there. At only 26, your daughter would do very well, and meed men who are educated, motivated, willing to study, probably sensible.
Maybe a lot of your daughter's pressure to marry comes from you, whether you are aware of this or not. A woman friend of mine got married for the first time at age 40, and had three children. My woman cousin got re-married at 46 and had a baby at 48. Your daughter has plenty of time. Why would you even think of her marrying a Mormon man, who believes that women have no rights, believes he will have many wives in the hereafter. Mormon men make lousy husbands. I've had two. One beat me. The other left me for one of his other women.
Your son and his wife have probably found one of the good Bible churches, that really are churches, and really believe in the loving, giving-oriented teachings of Christ. They will be uplifted instead of brought down. A chiropractor won't try to brainwash your son, or steal away your grandchildren to join his secret cult.
If your wife has found a group that accepts her, loves her, gives her hope, gives her real friendship, a sense of community, helps her face the challenges of everyday life--then let her enjoy it. You could take that money and get her a professional (non-Mormon) therapist, which might do the same thing, except for the socializing thing. Maybe the hypnosis group overcharges, but I don't think you are throwing your money away, as in giving money to a cult business to invest in malls and cattle ranches.
