Shorts: God wouldn't want me to sacrifice my marriage... right?

I know a woman who’s afraid to tell her husband she wants to join the Church. She could lose everything– her marriage, her kids, even her home if she pressed the issue.

I recall a man from my mission in similar straits. The Bishop told him the Church values marriage more than membership, so he ought not to appease his wife and cancel his baptism– even stop attending Church– until she is more receptive.

Better, I guess, to be a married non-member than a divorced member, right? Surely, God wouldn’t want someone to give up something as priceless as their marriage, right?

Wrong. Let’s talk about that.
