1. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and married a non member. Now I am married to another non member. We get along very well. I do my thing she does hers. It would be harder with children. My first wife joined the church and the kids attended church.
2. Mormons are encouraged to date Mormons. You'd better check with her parents first.
3. Dude, that would be Christian dating a Christian. Mormons are Christians too. We may have some doctrinal differences, but we still believe in the same cast of characters, and we still celebrate all the same holidays. Go for it. You just might like it!
4. Mormons are Christians. And if you are one to let religion get in the way of your relationships you are a zelot and an idiot. God. doesn't.care.
5. Mormonism is a branch of Christianity. You're okay.
6. I will tell you what the Word says. You can look it up for yourself. One the Bible says not to be unequally yoked w/ an unbeliever. Second, it says a house divided cannot stand. LDS are encouraged not to date/marry outside their own religion for these reasons. So, I doubt she'll develop a deep relationship with you. Sorry!!!
7. Mormons ARE Christians
8. I assume you just meant you belong to a different religion. Would it be wrong for a Baptist to date a Methodist? Or a Presbyterian to date a Lutheran? I guess the question is, if it went somewhere, and the dating led to falling in love and getting married, which Church would you and your potential family attend? I think any time you date anyone of another religion that will be an issue long down the road. Your Mormon girl is a Christian, so it wouldn't be the decision of whether or not you were going to celebrate Christmas or Easter or anything like that, just which congregation you will attend. If you are already thinking that far into the future, then I guess it would be an issue, but if you just want to get to know her better and go out on a date, then absolutely no problem at all.
9. Mormons and other Christians can date and do so. The main issue would reside in the fact that if the relationship preceded to marriage, and if the Mormon was a member in good standing, the Mormon would want to get married in a temple. Only active, members in good standing can have their marriage performed in a temple. That could be an issue at some point.
10. The Mormon one will try to convert the christian, espesially if they wish to be married in the Mormon Temple. This is what they are taught is this only way to be married since childhood. It will become difficult when there is children involved! Please research what you will be getting into!
11. yes it's a big problem coz mormons have no god...
12. Seeing as those of us who are LDS are Christian, I don't see where the problem is.
13. dont you mean christian dating a christian? mormons are christian!
14. Lets put it this way, mormons claim to be christians, but can't date outside of their faith (no other christian believers) so go figure.
15. it really depends on your relationship and how open you would both be to the possibility of your children choosing a faith other than your own. i know some people who are mormon and married to non-mormons and are very happy and their children are free to choose their faith when they are older. i have another friend who married a non-member and is really stuggling right now, because her husband won't let her baptise their daughter. i admit it is easier to marry in your faith, whatever it is, but no one is forced to do anything. pray about it and go with what the spirit guides you to do. If you feel it's ok, then it probably is. God wouldn't lead you in the wrong direction
