Dating & Marriage

Kay so in Utah were pretty much mostly all Mormons, and Mormons aren't supposed to date until they're sixteen. A lot of kids date before turning sixteen anyways, but as a general rule, if you don't want your parents to kill you, WAIT TILL YOU TURN SIXTEEN!! There's always the non mormons that live here too who date whenever the heck they feel like it, but the majority of us get to wait. That's okay with me though, I wouldn't have wanted to date when I was like twelve anyways. that's just creepy.

When we turn sixteen and ARE finally allowed to date, were supposed to go on group dates, then later we can double date, then even later we can be all coupley. Again, I'm not saying all us Mormons DO all this, were just SUPPOSED to. Anyways then we still can't get all exclusive with one particular person until after the guy goes on his two year mission at age nineteen. After that were allowed to get all serious and get married. Usually we get married at about twenty to twenty five. I think. I don't actually know for sure, I've never been married or anything so I'm kind of just guessing here.

Then after the guy is back from his mission and you all decide you want to get married, it becomes a really big deal. Mormons don't to the little wedding chapel in Vegas thing, were supposed to get sealed together for eternity in our temples. It's really serious and really sacred and you're pretty much stuck with your partner for life and beyond. Intense stuff huh?

Well that about sums it up. Don't date until your sixteen, don't get romantic till after the mission, then get sealed in the temple for ever and ever. Good luck.
