Is she like totally hot or something? What is she bringing to marriage?

I had a friend propose to this girl and she told him the diamond in the ring was not big enough. She said the diamond had to be bigger than the one her friend got. We all told him he should see that as a sign and dump her. Of course he did not. He went out and got a bigger diamond. I don't remember how long the marriage lasted but he did finally come to his senses and they go divorced.

This is what I believed when I was a believing Mormon married to an emotionally ill and abusive man. I knew he wasn't going to make it to the Celestial Kingdom, so if I made it, I would be "given" to a worthy man. The underlying reality was that I'd probably be a plural wife, but anything was better than being with my then husband. Of course I hoped he would repent and get worthy, but I knew that would take a miracle, the kind you just don't see.

But mainly I was focused on surviving the here and now. But I certainly hoped to be rewarded for suffering in this life, because Mormon God didn't want me to get a divorce.

That is the sad part.

She is very plain in appearance, not very intelligent and rather hefty for her frame. But he prayeded and fasteded and Mormon Man god through Mormon Bastard jesus told him by the POWER of the Holy Toaster that she was his FOREVER!

That is strange. Usually guys only get "revelations" to marry the hot chicks. Strange that he would get a "revelation" to marry a fat, dumb, ugly, bitch. He must be from the Opus Dei branch of Mormonism.

I left him over 17 years ago. The best decision I ever made, although of course he went nuts for a while. Predictable abusive behavior.

I've been in a wonderful relationship for over 16 years now with another exmormon atheist. He had also been in a crazy Mormon marriage in his youth. In a way, the horrible relationships of our past make us appreciate one another even more. We know how lucky we are.

I really love my wife. She's brilliant. She's the reason I actually do want to think (pretend?) there is an Eternity.
