Still working on it. It's a journey eh? I just wanted to clarify that my original question wasn't at all about me asking if I could have more than one husband. No way on the planet earth would I want more than one. I fired the last one and I couldn't imagine having more than one. I just wanted to know why there was a discrepancy between men and women. Thanks for your replies.

I appreciate the scripture references and will read some more. It is hard being an investigator because it is creating some hesitance in being baptized. Aren't you supposed to buy into everything? Sometimes I wish this was like going grocery shopping and I could choose to purchase a specific can of religious belief beans and put back the box of Little Debbie snack cakes because I don't agree with it. Poor analogy but I think you understand where I was going with it...

Hello, I am an investigator and struggling with an issue. I was hoping someone could give me a solid answer. I am confused as to why a man may be sealed to more than one woman in the temple but it doesn't work in reverse? You may ask why this is an issue with me? A little background: I was raised by a somewhat feminist mother who reinforced on a daily basis that I could do anything a man could do (of course with the exception of a few things). I am in my 40's, not married, no children and definitely independent. Probably too independent and stubborn at times but I am working on it. I understand the concept that the church reinforces about how women are just as important as men but that their callings are different. I am on board with so many other things with the church but this continues to bother me. I have prayed about it and tried to find scripture to help me and asked the sister missionaries. Any explanations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I am an investigator to the church and the missionaries are currently teaching me the lessons. I have many questions and came across this forum while reading up on information. I have really enjoyed attending church but still wonder if it is the right one for me. I am doing all the things the missionaries have asked me to do including prayer and scripture reading. I hope to find the answers I seek. Thanks in advance for your patience.
