Divorce: A Serious Sin?

By El Santo Gringo - 4/20/2012

Introduction I've been thinking some about divorce lately. A friend of mine, a most remarkable member of the Church, has recently decided to remarry several years after a difficult divorce.

By El Santo Gringo - 12/18/2010

I'm often asked if a Mormon (latter-day saint) can be romantically involved with someone of another faith. The purpose of this article is to provide some helpful clarification. Can a Mormon marry someone of another faith? There are a number of complicating factors that lead most practicing Mormons to marry members of their own faith. First, Mormonism is not just a religion; it’s also a culture. Significant cultural differences can complicate a marriage, even when a couple is sincerely in love. Cultural complications may explain why studies ... (...)
