Nah, serious question. Like how seriously does your average Mormon take Mormonism and Mormon values? I would say Muslims are one of the more serious religious groups on average (meaning a good % Muslims are fairly strict Muslims), while Christians are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Just wondering where your average Mormon lies on that scale.

Damn serious I would say.

it was all consensual and pleasure was had by all. What's more awesome than that?
why don't you tell us a story of how you felt like **** for masturbating until you signed your body over to one woman for the rest of your life. Then, talk about how the sex tapered off and you started masturbating again pretty regularly and felt worse about it than ever before.

Why would I lie about myself?

I used to work with one Mormon girl for about 3 years. So here it is about her and her Mormon family ( only Mormon family I knew personally). Freaking hypocrites I must say - her all family was from Chile who were illegal immigrants to USA and somehow got legalized through Mormon church, they lived in Provo initially before moving where I live now. So, where to start, dad was child abuser ( used to beat the crap out of poor little three girls, forced them to eat until they puke and then forced to eat whatever they puked! ) - no wonder they all got ridiculously fat. Lately he came out of closet that he is gay, got separated and now lives with his partner in Bay area. Older sister was/is drug dealer/addict/thief, single mom who does not even know who her kids father is, got involved with police numerous times and I still can't believe she did not kill anybody while DUI numerous times or ended up in jail after shoplifting. Only normal person in that family was younger sister who to my knowledge did not do anything crazy as of yet. Mom is typical toxic parent/bully who always tried to influence mature daughters no matter what they were trying to do. Lol, she threatened to kill herself once if one of those sisters will marry foreigner and give up her USA citizenship. Middle sister who used to work with me was the real story - always was telling me that she can't drink hot drinks ( tea, coffee ) because of her religion, but had no problems drinking alcohol, smoking and partying every weekend. Recently got married but before that had no problem cheating on her fiance with girls ( yes she admitted that she was bisexual ) and even had threesome with random couple she met at the bar one night. Yet had no problem telling me at work how devoted Mormon she is and that she goes to church every Sunday. I knew she had mental health issues as she was always on antidepressants and tried to slice her veins few times so she might not be the best example but as I am telling you know all that family except youngest sister was freaking ridiculous.

Think you had an other-than-typical experience. (from a non)

Not sure what to make of your post, really.

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.

When I was dating my wife, it was important to me that she be an active, believing LDS member, for many of these same reasons. I'd add to the list that common goals are vitally important to a marriage, and sharing a faith helps with that. I'd modify your reason number 3, though, which is that (as you likely also believe) temple sealings between husband and wife can occur after the initial marriage, even after death if need be.
