I’m interested in joining the Mormon Church but I have been divorced three times. The first abused and cheated on me. The other two cheated and wanted to move on. I met my husband who is Mormon and I would like to start fresh but I don’t think I would be accepted since I have been married so many times.

Hi friend. I really love being a member of this church and always get excited when other people think about joining. Thanks for your interest! I'm sorry to hear you've had these personal struggles. I'm also divorced, so I can certainly sympathize with you. Fortunately, the fact that you're divorced needn't impact your decision to join the LDS church. You're certainly welcome to worship with us, and you certainly won't be the only divorcee in the congregation.

Dear friend, This is my third marriage and my husband's second. I have been a member for 13 years, he has been a member for almost 35 years. It sounds like your previous husbands committed the sin, not you. The Lord wants those who want Him. There is nothing to be ashamed about - particularly after you are baptized, which wipes the slate clean so to speak, and gives you a new beginning. This is particularly true when both spouses are members of the Church, as it opens up so many more blessings for their family through temple worship. I encourage to move forward. God bless.
