How Long Should You Wait for a Temple Marriage?

I just reread a nine year old post from an LDS woman contemplating marriage to an inactive LDS man. Aside from his loss of conviction (or rather, testimony) that the gospel was true, she described their relationship as very good. According to her, he treated her very well and his values were in line with a Mormon lifestyle. She loved him and he loved her. She wanted to know if she should marry him. The response she got was an overwhelming NO. Which would have been my response, hands down, ten, twenty, thirty, forty years ago.

Missionary reunion: new mission president and wife enter MTC with daughters

President Paul R. Lovell, who is the new president of the Argentina Neuquen Mission, and his wife, Sister Brenda T. Lovell, were among mission leaders attending the 2012 Seminar for New Mission Presidents, held June 24-27. They received counsel, guidance and words of inspiration from President Thomas S. Monson and his counselors in the First Presidency, President Henry B. Eyring and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, as well as from members of the Quorum of the Twelve, Quorum of the Seventy and Presiding Bishopric. Added to all these blessings was being able to see the two youngest of their nine daughters, Brittany and Ashley, who were also at the Missionary Training Center. The daughters, fraternal twins, entered the MTC on Wednesday, June 20. The parents entered on Saturday, June 23.

Defending the Faith: The Book of Mormon was very carefully written

“Intertextuality” is a word used to describe ways in which various texts refer to, or play off of, each other, often without explicitly indicating it. For example, a 2012 book titled “Seven Habits of Highly Fulfilled People” unmistakably alludes to Stephen Covey’s famous 1990 best-seller, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Sometimes, authors hope that their audiences will keep the other text in mind. The Book of Mormon contains numerous such examples, and probably quite a few remain to be discovered. John Welch has shown that legal language in the Book of Mormon tends to be highly consistent, perhaps indicating its dependence on underlying legal materials. Royal Skousen’s superb studies of the book’s textual history have established what he calls its “systematic nature”; its terminology and phrasing tend to be very consistent.
