Hello! I am struggling with a big conflict right now, and I really have no idea how to handle this. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I believe that families are meant to be forever - that marriage lasts into eternity, and that we are to some day become like God. When I married my husband, we shared this belief and both were very strong, active members of our church. Over the last year or two, my husband has really started to question his beliefs and doesn't feel like he's getting answers in a lot of things. Growing up, his dad taught him that the scriptures and our religion teach that anyone living righteously and really doing their part to seek and come to know God can experience a "second annointing" and have their "calling and election made sure" in this life. That's dad what his really wants and is trying to achieve (but is still ok with not receiving this too if it doesn't happen...as long as he is at least doing his best and trying to get there), so naturally, this is what my husband has always wanted and been trying to do as well. His whole life, he feels like he has been doing even more than the average in attempting to know God and have any kind of beautiful experiences or revelation that his Dad talks of (in private, special settings, his Dad has shared a few special experiences of his own) but has not received anything like what he was expecting. In 8th grade, he would carry his scriptures in his pocket at public school and read from them whenever he could. He read the entire Standard Works. He served a full-time mission, got married in the temple, has always attended the temple regularly and studied his scriptures/prayed. But in all of this, the only answer he has noticed is the "good feeling" which he doesn't want to solely rely on because we aren't the only religion in which the people with "good feelings" that they get from doing what their religion teaches. Anyway, I feel like he's finally deciding to leave the church once he gets over his fear of the church members and our families coming after him. And now I have no idea what to do. I don't have the answers he wants, but I still strongly believe that our church is true. It's so hard to think about what will happen to our family now. And I don't know how to help him except to keep loving him. I don't know what to do with the stress and pain inside me right now. Is anyone else in a similar situation or have any inspiring thoughts for me? Right now my whole world is crashing down and it's hard to think positively.
