Answer 2

go learn everything you can about the church. Start by going to: http://mormon.org. Then call the missionaries (think there is a spot on the website. Read the Book of Mormon and pray about it.

If you believe it is true go for it. If you don't, then don't. It is really simple.  

Answer 3

i think you should talk to her a little bit and think!! and maybe investigate in her church...

and maybe call some missionarys to tell you!!

youll now by then!!

Answer 4

I am quite sure that you wouldn't want to convert.  The two religions are so different.  Have a non denominational ceremony or get married by a judge.

Answer 5

1) You will only go to the temple if you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in good standing, so the only way you will be married in the temple is if you join the church.

2) If you don't believe in it, I counsel you as a member not to join--I think the church is literally God's intention for all of us, the right path, etc.  However, faking it to get married seems a bad idea for your life.

3) Plenty of people consider our church a cult. By "cult," all they mean is a religion they do not hold.  If you have a good feeling when praying about the church and the scriptures, don't let well-meaning non-belivers get in your way.  Likewise, if you pray about it and feel that the church is just a bunch of nice people with odd beliefs but not really inspired, don't let your desire for marriage to this woman let you go against what prayer tells you.

P.S. She wants to get married in the temple because we belive doing so is necessary to join families for time and all eternity instead of just on this world--her desire will not go away so long as she believes.

Short answer is pray and think; if it's right, God will let you know or at least help you to know.  Right or wrong, other people will tell you not to join, so you have to let prayer and your own feelings trump what other people think.

Practical matters--your girlfriend is the person she is because, in part, the gospel helped raise her that way.  If you want to be part of that, you are welcome to it (in the best possible sense).  It's yours if you decide so.  It's a great life full of joy and the tools needed to deal with sorrow, and I recommend it 100%.  What you have to do is find out if it is real--if it is, what choices you then make will make sense.  if you find out it is not real, then again your choices are straightforward.  I do counsel you against making a half choice--faking it or getting married and hoping it will work out.

Answer 6

lol,,,,, not sure why anyone is explaining this.  it doesnt matter how crazy this is...they always seem to convert and it never really works out.  come on, how rude is it to say you must except my faith to marry me!  

Answer 7

PLease so some research. Mormonism is NOT considered christian. The temple is strange and cultish..see here....

scroll down...on link above.

Mormon youth and recent converts do not know about what happens in the temples...So your GF would not!   beware.

Members are not allowed to speak about it...

Answer 8

If you're Christian and serious about your faith, should you be dating someone who's LDS and serioius about her faith?

Be not yoked with an unbeliever.

Answer 9

You can't go into the temple unless you convert (my sister is southern baptist and is marrying a mormon). If you aren't willing to convert then talk to her about it. Maybe she will change her mind.

Answer 10

The only way you can get married in the temple is if you convert to Mormonism and then follow their rules to a T in order to get a temple recommend.  

Answer 11

I agree with everything Mickey_Maos said.

I would also like to add my personal experience on this subject.  I am LDS (and just for the record, we ARE Christian, the definition of Christian being a follower of Christ.)  I married a Presbyterian (also Christian) with the understanding that I would live my faith and he would live his because we weren't going to "let a few religious differences get between our love for one another".

It sounded good in theory.  And it worked for about 2 years.  But there was always tension when I went to church activities and he wanted me to be doing something else with him or else when he went out drinking without me.

And there were the future children to consider.  What religion would they be?

Mormonism is not just a Sunday religion, but a way of life.  Marriage is hard enough without religious differences dividing you.

I strongly recommend investigating the doctrine for yourself.  See if it is something you could embrace personally and support your future wife in.  Otherwise, this relationship will bring both of you unimaginable pain.  Maybe not now, but eventually.

Answer 12

I was in the same situation as you. My husband is Mormon, and while he really wanted to have our wedding in the temple, he knew that if he wanted to marry me, we would have to have it elsewhere. What we did do is found a nondenominational church and pastor, and wrote our own vows. I do wish I could have converted for him, but since he loved me, it was more important to him for us to have an amazing ceremony where love was more predominant than to be in the temple. In our vows, we still promised to love and honor each other for eternity. When you guys do get married, you can use Mormon and Christian vows, like we did. If she truly loves you, she will compromise. Good luck!
