There have been times in the last three years that we have had to live paycheck to paycheck so the idea of a rich doctor is antiquated in most cases. I don't really care if she's religious or not, unless she brings it up all the time or tries to convert me. Now Knowing your husband is surrounded by good looking women, makes you pray for them even harder. We have a happy marriage.

It's easy to be blind to deal-breaking faults when you are young and in love. Some Mormon girls succumb to worldly laziness. Well the pieces will all fall into place.

So, one would one think, "yay, she works, has a life and friends and has avoided the ongoing loneliness and "empty nest syndrome". Whatever your leaders have said, consider their counsel, give it the weight it deserves, then counsel with your Heavenly Father about your own situation. So there's THAT to look forward to. With moonlighting included, my boyfriend sometimes works up to hours per week. But those days may be gone. The first year is mostly research with regular hours followed by those daunting 3 years. And they manage to get the time for it.
