I fell in love with a mormon girl, but I am agnostic, yet pretend to at least be Christian. Her biggest requirement is that I quit harmful substances, which I do for my health already. Not sure what else to expect if we get married.

I have been up front with her, that's why I said she's okay with my core beliefs being more christian (born christian but agnostic, but totally fine with christianity minus the bad people in it). I'm fine getting married in the temple, and she already said she wants to marry me and move in with me already. It's a mutual feeling.

So to summarize my topic post, what I meant was, we have everything worked out so far except that I don't know what to expect in the weekly/yearly life as a married Mormon man. Like, is it enough to just go to church every sunday after the initial preparation for getting sealed in the temple, or is it culty and ritual stuff all the way until death? If it's just the same as Christian sunday school after marriage, I wouldn't have a problem raising my future kids like that either. On the surface so far it sounds nice. We do good things for each other and for a god who may or may not exist, we promise to stay away from harmful substances (she doesn't care if I use caffeine, and she's warming up to CBD oil), we get education and support on how to be husbands and wives and parents....

What am I missing that's going to make being a Mormon totally suck?
