@Nirty_Digger my best friend got married and was mormon, did all the steps necessary and took all of the precautionary guidelines. they were only married for like 6 months i think before they got a divorce.
he left the church after that and now has an awesome little family.
i'm pretty worried about one of my other friends because i see him taking the same steps, but i can't really give him advice on hypotheticals. just have to hope it works out for him, or hope that when it doesn't work out it's a learning experience.
