True.
God does not recognize Mormon marriages either.

Well Bunny, it is true. A Mormon woman cannot get married in the Temple if the husband is not a Mormon. In case you don't know it, the marriages performed at the Temple are not the same those at the Chapel, for they surely can get married in the Church (Chapel) like anyone else.

Yes, that about right,
Temple marriage for us LDS is for eternity. Other Marriage or civil marriages is "till death do you part"
To be worthy to married in the LDS temple, both the man and woman must be faithful LDS.
Its not that we want to keep non member out of the temple,
Ideally, we like every one to have a eternal marriage, but people that do not believe, obviously would not even want to know about us. Logically speaking, why would anyone want something they do not believe?
There are member and non-member couple who have a civil marriage first, then when the non-member became a member, then they work their way to a temple marriage.

True.
Not even every member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is always allowed in the temple. We have to be living certain precepts of the Gospel (tithing, word of wisdom, chastity, treating our families right, having a testimony etc) to be considered worthy to enter. Like the ancient Hebrew temples, we place a very high value on keeping them places of purity.
However, when a temple is newly built or remodeled, tours are available to the public before it is dedicated. You should definitely go if you have the chance, they are absolutely beautiful buildings.
