I’ve fallen madly in love with a Mormon boy. He’s 22 years old, and I’m 18. He’s a wonderful person. I’m not Mormon, but I do read the Book of Mormon online. I want to know if our relationship could go anywhere. Also, does your religion care about the difference in our ages? Thanks in advance.
The concept of a united family that progresses together spiritually is at the core of Latter-day Saint doctrine.
Hi friend. I'm happy you're reading the Book of Mormon and that you want to learn more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Religious unity is very important in a relationship. Many people first learn about our church through family and loved ones. I encourage you to continue to investigate our beliefs. Why don't you go with your boyfriend to church sometime to see how we worship? This church has been a great blessing in my life and in the lives of millions of other people who have joined. It could certainly enrich your life as well.
I also recently wrote an article about the importance of religious unity in a romantic relationship, in case it helps you.
The difference in your ages is not large, and both of you are now adults, so that really shouldn't be a problem.
