I have been troubled for some time over a religious understanding of my husband. We have discussed this and I still struggle. This is what brings me here today, in hopes I can better understand.
To explain in short: My husband is Mormon, I am not. I do attend church with him but have had a very difficult time adapting. Although I have several questions b/c there is so much that I don't understand, my primary question is the belief of eternal principles. They believe that a family must be sealed in the temple in order to be together in eternity and it is there that they create an eternal family, bringing forth, spiritual babies, etc.
In the church that I attended through my entire life, this was never discussed at all and I have found no evidence in the bible stating such. Is there anyone that can help to clarify for me and aid in my understanding of eternity, how it works and what is required of us here on earth in order to have our eternal families or if this is not a factor at all? If anyone has references, I would much appreciate them as I would love to have the peace and understanding in my mind of what really is.
Thanks very much in advance.
