Sure, women can marry whomever they want. There are many women (and men) in our church who are married to non-members.
It's just that many people (not just Mormons, not just Christians) have found that it is usually a good deal easier if both spouses are of the same faith.
And a non-member can't enter the temple, so the couple can't be sealed for all eternity.

The word of know-how began out by potential of way of advice and not commandment - Wilford Woodruff replaced it to a commandment as by potential of that component it became into held as such by potential of almost anybody besides. God's unlikely to have a woman go through for her husband's transgressions. i comprehend of a marvelous kin the place the guy became into got here upon to be residing a 2d existence opposite to the gospel. i became into greatly surprised to take heed to approximately it as he did not look the form to me. His spouse has been devoted and a great woman - there is already a punishment that she feels now loosing a marriage and being emotionally harm by potential of issues. by no potential will she experience greater harm in heaven by potential of her modern-day loss. She'll be compensated for her tears and land up in a concern the place each blessing that she would have attained along with her husband would be granted to her. people of the two genders locate themselves in this situation - yet God does not provide up on them. No guy/woman would be punished for anothers errors, which will by no potential take place. She'll be fantastic, he has a procedures to circulate, yet no physique's appropriate the two. espresso and purely somewhat rum are undesirable because of fact he's covenanted to not drink them, however the worst area approximately it rather is that if a guy will not be able to maintain the little covenants, i could be frightened approximately what different issues are being hidden from view in basic-sight.

Mormons are discouraged from marrying outside their faith. In order for a couple to be married to the temple they both have to be mormon. They believe that if you are married in the temple you will be sealed for eternity instead of just for your time on earth.

Not possible unless the future spouse were to convert. And that would be before the ceremony.
LDS is a lifestyle, not just some place you go to on Sundays. I am not one, but have neighbors and friends who are and this is how they have best explained it to me.

yes, however, a Mormon lady may be hoping on a Temple marriage - that she can't have with a non-Mormon. Its totally up to her though.

A gentile is one who isn't a Jew.
