I've never heard anyone told what they can and can't do with their spouse as long as what they do is only with their spouse.

Interesting .. I've heard it multiple times. Maybe I should be getting a complex that they're really just trying to talk me out of Mormonism .. I must not be good material.

I am engaged to a girl who is also LDS. It would be very tough for me to marry a girl who wasn't LDS for many reasons.

These are not all inclusive, nor are they in any particular order

1. Standards. I want a partner who has the same standards as me that can help me be an example to them. (not all LDS girls are this, and not all non LDS girls are this, but it is more common.)

2. I have a belief in what I live and want to teach my kids those same principles. I want a wife who helps me teach them this.

3. I believe that the only way to live with your family through eternity is through a temple marriage... I want that.

There are many other reasons as well but these are the main ones.

Sorry man, you just totally reminded me of my favorite scene form Napoleon Dynamite.

No, I'm just saying it put a strain on our relationship and especially my father's relationship with his LDS family. They are all great folks, so don't get me wrong, but it was just super awkward and I came to resent their pity (or what I interpreted as pity) because we were all ****ed in the afterlife.

I've got a friend who became inactive and whenever he'd go to a family function where they'd pray over food someone would always pray that "Chuck" would find his way back to the church. "Chuck" finally told them that if they mention him again in their prayers at family shin-digs he and his wife would never come to dinner again.

Actually, what really got under my skin was my Grandmother's (my father's mother) funeral when 4-5 people got up and talked about how great it would be if we could all accept whatever it is we should accept so we could all be in the celestial kingdom together and how horrible it would be for just a few people to mess it all up (I'm paraphrasing and ignorant). I was 14 and it was my first funeral and I left pissed.

Us Mormons aren't the best at PC when it comes to non mormons and inactives. Infact, we're outright dumb at times.
 
There came a certain point in my single life in SLC where I decided not to date LDS women. Even if they seemed to be okay with it, most of the time they really weren't. Besides, while I could move fairly slowly with things in the sex department at that stage of my life, when I knew it wasn't gonna happen it was pretty hard to see the point. Constant interaction with the LIMIT of physical/intimate expression is mother ****ing exhausting and frustrating.

The sexual politics of SLC is my least favorite aspect of the place. Yuck. Guilt and total lack of knowledge of one's body.

Actually, it's Europe that is the land of threesomes. I've only had a couple of them in the States. So, I'm sorry if I implied globality with the threesome comment. inaccurate.
