In other words, eternal marriage really is worth it, I think. Rights of all genders are supported here. I'm sorry this was so longwinded and not really an answer to your questions. So you made a wise decision. We always went every Sunday, had family prayer and scripture reading, etc.
She will be oh-so-grateful if you do not pressure her to discard those values. But I love him. I have many friends and members of my family who married within the church and later divorced. Our relationship is not perfect, not easy, but absolutely amazing. Should either of you sisters raise your children and wonder what faith will they choose. She is showing a common attitude of distrust for "anti-mormon" material.
If you can love them unconditionally with how they are now, then I say go for it. Pay for the first few dates. I guess I was just hoping there was way for it to work. Do you work Easter, the day after your baby is born, weekends, nights. Ask him if he's not seeing you to not commit.
This means first being clear that you want to go on a date. That sentence strikes me as rather bizarre--it seems to be alluding to a causal link between academics and being "emotionally immature," as you put it. No easy answers here.
