There is no question that God loves all of His children, and that obviously includes non-members. There is no such thing as a perfect Mormon family- regardless of whether the parents are sealed or not. Well, sometimes they cant. I get it; I just don't buy into it.
Nor was there a lack of compassion or respect. When I was a teen, my first boyfriend was a convert and people would comment on that instead of how nice he was to me. And there's a story I'm going to look again for too. Many men have begun leaving the Church in their early twenties as the mission has become more important.
It's why TBMs are so bugged by people that leave the church. There are a great many beliefs I can't condone but most of them are along the lines of gender stereotyping, and how you apply that to your own life obviously varies by individual. We lived about miles apart for the first 2 years. You might start drinking to ease the pain. But, you will probably lose. A lot of shared hobbies, interests, life goals. So now I am here and I have made a go of it for a year, found a new job, made new friends, tried to grow to like a culture that is foreign to me. I am 27, LDS, and 5 days away from marrying my own amazing non-Mormon man. With that being said, I have long considered myself just a tad outside super TBM since we watched Game of Thrones, drank energy drinks, and occasionally stayed in my running clothes sans garments to do yard work.
What a miserable state. We met at home just before he went back to school and even though we only had a week together, it was whirlwind and we already spoke of marriage and kids. I would leave him note reminding him how important his work was. Mind control is not child's play, and the Mormon church has real people's blood on their hands for the despicable damage they've caused. They may need much more than casual contact with the church to see the truth in it. He is absolutely, hands-down my favorite human being on the planet. It all depends on the girl.
