So, I haven't posted here in a long time, but here's a quick and dirty summary of my back story:
- I'm Muslim, my wife converted to Islam (from LDS) when we got married. We had kids about 4 months ago and on Sunday she told me she didn't want to be Muslim anymore and wants to go back to the 'The' church.
I'm here to ask for you advice. How should I handle this? I'm extremely upset and have already started throwing some 'negative, anti' stuff at her about the Mormon church but that is clearly not a viable strategy. I do want to maintain my marriage and I don't want my kids raised as Mormons.
When I asked my wife about that she said we'll teach them both religions and let them pick. I guess that's better than getting a divorce and breaking up the family.
Now I need to know how to get my wife to being open to listening to legitimate, logical criticisms of the church and not plugging her ears and saying 'lalala'. For example, when I told her that JS was arrested for gold digging and lying to people her response was 'he's human.' When I told her the church is a business her response was 'it's a good business.'
Any thoughts, ideas or support would be greatly appreciated as I have been very sick about this since she told me but am at stand still about what I can do.
