The Pampered Spouse<br />
STEPHEN CARTER, 19 June<br />
. . . . They talked at length about their husbands and<br />
their unwillingness to do the temple thing when one<br />
woman piped up with comforting words . . . : “Don’t<br />
worry about it. When you get to heaven and your<br />
husband isn’t there, you’ll be free to date again and<br />
find someone else to be sealed to. . . .” Everyone<br />
seemed genuinely pleased at the prospect.<br />
For Men Only?<br />
JANA REMY, 25 August<br />
My question is why women don’t gravitate towards<br />
<strong>Sunstone</strong> as often as men do? Does <strong>Sunstone</strong> need to<br />
work harder to reach out to women? And if so, what<br />
are those particularly female needs that aren’t being<br />
addressed in current <strong>Sunstone</strong> efforts?<br />
For Better For Worse<br />
LISA TENSMEYER HANSEN, 29 August<br />
. . . Some couples find themselves closer after addressing a<br />
religious-spiritual divide, and others find themselves alienated<br />
from one another—even if they stay together. . . .<br />
Have you experienced being out-of-balance in a relationship<br />
because of religious concerns, doubts, or spiritual questions?<br />
What casualties have you suffered and was the price worth it, or was<br />
it too great—in retrospect? If you’ve reached a truce or resolution<br />
with a partner, what are the guideposts to avoiding all-out chaos?<br />
Heretic Today, Prophet Tomorrow?<br />
MATT THURSTON, 31 August<br />
. . . How does a faithful Latter-day Saint dissent and not be branded<br />
a heretic, or worse, an apostate? . . . What does one do when personal<br />
beliefs contradict Church doctrine, policy, or revelation? Ignore personal<br />
revelation and put your faith in the leaders of the Church? Quietly<br />
abstain with regards to the issue in question, keep your opinion to<br />
yourself, and openly support the Church in all other endeavors?<br />
Grouse to friends and family members and occasionally pop off<br />
in Elders Quorum? Write an editorial for the Salt Lake Tribune?<br />
