How do you tell your husband that you'd like to try the Mormon Church?

Question

He's Orthodox

the great gazoo-- it's a general question. "No wonder the divorce rate is so high" Who do you think you are? You don't know me or my husband. You have no basis for being rude to me. If you don't like the question....Don't answer it.

Answer 1

Have the missionaries visit you when your husband is at home. Missionaries are very nice and caring and they can answer all your questions. The LDS church is great, we are Christians and our main belief is that God is our Heavenly Father that loves us a lot and sent his son (Jesus) to earth to save us; Jesus is our brother. Go to http://www.mormon.org and click where it says ask a question and then click on "have missionaries visit me" and fill that out and they will contact you within two weeks. I know that you and your husband will love the gospel as much as I and my fellow Mormons do. ^_^

Answer 2

Both of you can go to the Church if you like, If your husband doesn't want to but allows you to go then go and see. In which manner to ask, any way would be fine, just because you want to try "mormonism" doesn't mean that your husband is going to freak out and stop loving you, if he does do that then I would suggest some counseling, but by the response you gave to The great guy, or whatever his name was, it seems that you two understand each other well, and that this wouldn't impede anything.
When first going to a church, and you ask people about the LDS religion you'll find many responses like you got on this one, like cults, many wives, false prophet, but then again Satan uses these same ways to stop people from doing something that is right, peer pressure is what it is called.
The only way you are going to know for yourself, which is the way it should be, is to go and find out how it is for yourself.
This is how it'll probably be. Hopefully someone will come up to you and say hi and introduce themselves, they can help you with anything you need, they might even introduce you to the missionaries but that doesn't mean that we want to convert you immediately. If you feel like you don't want to join just tell them and nothing will change. If you like to stay for the 3 hours you will be in a Sacrament Meeting ( 1 hour), where various people will speak men and women, sometimes young adults, then you will have a class where you will learn about basic gospel principles (1 hour) from the Book of Mormon, and of course the Bible, then men and women separate (1 hour) to learn about things that pertain to them.
If you decide not to stay then leave when you'd like. It can be nerve racking to go to another church, I once went to a Apostolic Church, that was different.
But that is about how it will be, not like the apostolic, but like I explained above, if you have children there is a place for toddlers so that you can leave them with other young children to learn or watch a movie about Jesus.
It is a great place, just has a bad name because of people like those on here. Give it a try and let me know how it goes or if you have any questions.

Answer 3

Just tell him you would like to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It will be difficult, I won't lie to you. The LDS Church is the true Church of Jesus Christ, I know that. Once you begin to see the blessings flowing into your life, you'll want to share it with him. It will be a strong test of your faith but do not give up. It will bless your life and likely bless his life as well.

I am a member of the Church and both of my parents are of different faiths. It is not easy but it will still be the greatest blessing in your life.

Make sure you have a very strong testimony of the truthfulness of the Church. Tell the Lord of your situation, ask Him for the strength you need to get through it, and then have faith that He's done it. You must act if He's to provide the strength, though.

PS - You'll also here a lot of lies or misunderstandings about the Church for example, just from the above responses, here are some examples of these:

"...suppressive to women..."
"...the only way to get to the "higher" planet after you die is by the earthly works of your husband..."
"...5th wife..."
"...decide if you believe what it teaches..." (this is one of the problems with religion now-a-days...people see if the church fits THEIR beliefs rather than looking for truth...don't do that...search for truth with an open mind)
"...all these confident and decisive wives..."
"...they allow polygamy..."
"...a lot of things about it they don't tell you until you belong..."
"...they both are cults ..."
"...false prophet..."
"Before you do that, I suggest you read the last paragraph in the Holy Bible." (The implication here is the problem...it shows this person's ignorance of the Bible AND The LDS Church)

See how many lies appear just here in a few minutes. Satan rages against the Lord's Church. Do your research and then pray and ask God if it is true after you've set your life in the proper order to recieve answers to prayers.

Answer 4

Well your getting a lot of misinformation from many of the others on here. Many people really don't know what we believe and they find their informaion and history from people who don't know either. You should just be honest with your husband but don't force him to follow you. That will just drive him away. For accurate information regarding the church visit the web site lds.org. Good luck. You could also visit the web site my friend LoveYahoo gave it has accurate information also.

Answer 5

Well I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. You might try discussing the Mormon church to see his opinions and knowledge of the religion first before you ever mention wanting to visit it. That should give you some insight into how he will respond to the idea should you decide to broach it. After the discussion, you may find you don;t want to try it after all or you may decide he will be open to your idea. I wouldn't expect much though if I were you.

Answer 6

Just tell him that you want to explore and you feel that this would be a very interesting church to attend. Try and go over the beliefs of Mormons with him so he can understand what it is that attracted you to it.

Answer 7

I would suggest that both of you sit down and talk about your personal beliefs....the Mormon church has its own set of beliefs that you may or may not know of.....religion is always a touchy subjectin any family

Answer 8

As you state your question it would be telling my husband in which case I would just say "Hun, gonna go try mormonism." to which he would reply"Bring me back some Pepsi and what's for dinner tonight?"

As for how to tell your husband, you are the one who knows him best so you should already know how to tell him things.. If you don't know how to tell him, I suggest you work on your communication in your marriage before exploring any religion...

Answer 9

Honey, I'm going to the Mormon church this Sunday for a visit. You could come with me if you would like.

Answer 10

Be prepared to assume the missionary position. I mean, for the sales pitch. I mean, lessons.

I did this nearly half a century, and it simply doesn't make it as a legitimate 'religion' on any level. I had to get out, and finally did - and my children too. Actually, they were the key.

So, read more about them, from all sides. They are not what they appear to be on the surface.
