Thank you, that's a really good way to look at it.

Thank you for the encouraging words, I will concentrate on my marriage and perhaps use a different means to vent my frustration, which can be the gym. Heck that gives me an opportunity to lose a couple of pounds too. :)

Thank you for your kind words. I'm a convert to the Church, I joined when I was 10 years old and having a father who's not lds, let alone Christian does give me a different background than my wife whose parents on both lines are from polygamous mormon families. I only joined because my mother was LDS, and after many years of her trying to make me join, I finally did, just to get her off my back

I'm going to have to take this one slow. Thanks for sharing your experience.

You're right, absolutely right. I will have to come at it from a different point of view.

Thank you for your advice, that is really what I needed. I guess for guys its either black or white, nothing is really gray. I will have to treat her differently, I guess I'll have to start with being a little more humble.

That's what I've been thinking too. But we live in UT county where almost every counsellor is mormon. I've been trying to move away from UT County but it's hard because this is where we both work.

That's the hard thing, its really hard to talk to her about the church because she puts up a defensive wall and gets really mad about it.

I should add, does your wife really believe in the lds church? That's the issue, she really does believe in it. However I will take Greyfort's advice and take things really slowly.

I need some advice on how to cope with my issue. I just talked to my wife about who she will chose, and she said she'll chose the church over our marriage. This got me really upset and I don't know what to do. I am still shaking and angry over her answer. I love her more than anything and I don't want to lose her and the kids. A couple of months ago I told her I was done with the Church

I am 33 years old, I've been a member of the LDS Church since I was around 10 years old. To be honest I was forcefully converted by my mother who was a member of the Church after many painful beatings.

Don't go, I almost got kicked out of BYU for not attending Church for a few weeks. It was hell on earth, I just concentrated on my studies took 21 credits per semester and got out of there after graduating.

Read Joesephus Flavius's account of Jesus which he wrote 93 AD, just 60 years after the death of Jesus. Some critics argue that it his account was inserted by some christian cleric a couple of hundred years later. But it's an interesting account. Personally, I believe in Jesus, and I have a profound believe and love of God. However I do not think that the Mormon church has all the answers
