Why Mormon girl cannot marry nonmember or a boy from other religion?

Question

I dont think it is fair for both sides.

Answer 1

A Mormon can marry a nonmember, and they can marry someone from another religion. But if they chose to do that, they just can't get married in the Mormon Temple. It's not like we're kicked out of the religion if we marry outside our faith. I'm Mormon, but my husband isn't, and they haven't kicked me out! I'm sure there are teenager Mormons out there whose parent's won't let them date outside the religion, but I find that to be true with a lot of religions.
I seen that you were given a lot of false information by people that have no clue what they're talking about. I seen some wrote that we believe in more then one God, we believe in a different Heaven, and our husbands think they will become a god of our planet. Well, I can assure you that I have been Mormon my whole life and I have never been taught any of that stuff. I don't know what planet these people on here are referring to. I have only been taught about the same Heaven in the Bible.
'm sure some probably will give you anti-Mormon websites to go to. Read all the anti stuff you want, but also investigate the church from our standpoint as well.

Answer 2

Again, a Mormon girl can marry a nonmember or a boy from another religion. She will not be excluded from the church in any way for doing so. But the Mormon Church discourages her from doing it.

I've seen too many unhappy marriage situations myself to think that a marriage of a member and non-member is a good idea. Sure, sometimes things work out, but usually they don't. How do you raise the kids? What are the kids going to think about the Mormon Church if daddy refuses to join? It is just not a good idea.

Someone once said that you should marriage a person as much like you as possible. There will be enough differences left over to drive you up a wall. Marriage is tough. It demands a lot of compromises and hard-work to make it successful. Why make it harder by marrying someone who disagrees on a fundamental issue?

A Mormon girl would have to give up the possibility of marriage in the next life if she marries a man who never becomes a good Mormon member. If you really loved a Mormon girl you would not want to take away from her this opportunity. And hey, anyone can join the Mormon Church and enjoy the same benefits.

Answer 3

Because if they are a devout LDS (Latter Day Saint), they want a celestial marriage, which is where they are sealed for eternity (meaning you are still married to that person after you die). That can only happen in a temple marriage ceremony. To be married in a temple marriage ceremony you have to be a person who has become LDS. But I would caution you to read up on this religion before committing to this lifestyle and there are some key issues you want to understand and pray about before joining this church. Converting to any religion for the sake of love can create problems later on in the marriage.

Answer 4

The Church does not prohibit marrying someone outside of your religion, but the Church encourages its members to marry within the Church. This is sound advice in general, for the more a married couple have in common, the more likely their marriage will be successful. When a couple disagrees on basic core values and beliefs, it can lead to additional stress, conflicts, and disappointment. The issue of how kids are raised can be especially problematic. Naturally, the Church hopes they will be raised LDS. We believe that the Lord wants children to be raised with the truth of the Gospel.

Some of the greatest blessings of the Gospel are available to married couples who both live the Gospel and are willing to receive sacred covenants made in temples. Temple marriage, for example, offers the potential to be married throughout eternity and to enjoy the blessings of family life in the presence of God. Thus, we hope that all our young people will choose to be married in the temple to a spouse who is committed to Christ and is willing to live life according to the Gospel.

Answer 5

Mormons believe in marrying for ETERNITY. That means beyond the grave. In order to do this, they must be married in a mormon temple, which, by the way, is a beautiful structure. In order to be allowed into a temple, you must live a worthy life, and be baptized into the LDS faith. If you're a non-member, you're not baptized into the faith, even if you're living a very worthy life. The standards for mormons are very high-class, just to warn you. If you're aiming to marry a mormon girl, you won't regret it once you do, but it won't be easy.

Answer 6

Anyone can do whatever they want. There are consequences for all of our actions whether good or bad. There are more blessings if for two Mormons if they marry in the temple than if they marry outside of it. If two people are married outside the temple it doesn't really matter who they're married to, as far as blessings go.

It is encouraged for people of all faiths to marry those with similar beliefs so as to avoid contention within the home.

Answer 7

A Mormon girl can marry anyone she wants to. They can not get married in the Temple but they can get married anywhere else.

Don't listen to all those who say she has to marry another Mormon, or that is what the church teaches because that is all false.

Answer 8

They can, but it will not a Mormon wedding, not in a Mormon temple, and now an eternal marriage.

If you really love a Mormon girl, you better understand that there is more than a mixed marriage, it is a marriage for eternity. Eternal marriage is very hard to give up.

Try going with her to her ward and see what her life and your would be like.

Answer 9

A Mormon young woman can marry anyone she likes, however, to have the church's blessing, they need to be married in a temple, which is only open to members.

Answer 10

It's just what their religion teaches. Many religions and cultures want you to practice religious endogamy (meaning you must marry within your own religious group). In fact, Christianity preaches something of those sorts - more along the lines of teaching that you must be a witness to all you love - so if you married a non-Christian, you would have to preach and preach until they accept Jesus. So - it's not uncommon.
