Expect her to either write you off during her mission or pressure you to show interest in the church. She doesn't want to marry you. I know residency is particularly bad, but what about when he finishes that. Otherwise you risk having an awkward mix between dating and hanging out, which can be uncomfortable for those involved.
I grew up believing that when, where, and by what authority I was married were equally important to whom I married. Marriage is meant to be eternal. There's a picture of the magic rock he found while digging a neighbor's well.
The ideal, in my opinion, is that she discovers what we all know about the lies the church tells her. I definitely don't want to lead her on. You may look on here and see all of us, but a lot of us got out much much older. I'm not quite bitter but a tad fed up as have given up family, career, friends and started afresh x 2 again to be left alone at the other side of the planet with two young kids, moving house and setting up home with just 4 suitcases. Now to answer you question more directly, I believe you should discuss your fears with him so he understands exactly where you want your relationship to go for both of you, otherwise you might grow resentful of him and he may have no clue as to why. She was expecting me to break up with her, like all previous guys she's been into have done. I believe that we are all on different paths, but that it is possible for us to travel on different paths side-by-side. I could never do it. She started crying when I explained this to her.
Go on dates on days other than Sunday. So, I'm in a relationship with a 3rd year med student and we are trying to find a date to get married. He has never said a disparaging word about his mother. On the other hand, if you believe God is bigger than we can imagine, and is not constrained by religious dogma, you have as good a chance as any at a happy, thriving relationship. Sometimes you might even get jealous of the patients since they seem to get to even see your 'doctor' more than you do. Is it just the expectation that the SOs of people in these fields are on the backburner. I have always been a very active, outdoor person. As your future self, I say this with the utmost respect and admiration: Two peas in a pod. A good place to go is to a museum, hiking, or to a park. Also, what do you and your fiancee do to deal with the busyness.
