Dating Outside Your Religion

    Why is it a big deal to date and /or marry someone outside of The Latter Day Saint religion?

 Not dating or marrying someone who isn’t in your religion, can seem to some like a lost opportunity at finding a partner. And getting to know a potentially great person.

    I cannot speak for all Latter Day Saint women. But there is an easy way to explain the concern. Sometimes, it can seem like a risk to fall in love and marry a non-member (someone not a part of the LDS church). And to carry the hope that somewhere down the road they may join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. * 

    There are some non-members married to members of the church who don’t convert to the religion. And never want to. Could that possibly create an issue marrying someone with the idea that down the road they will be someone else? Wouldn’t that possibly lead to disappointment and/or resentment if they don’t?

The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that  some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...
