Should i invite my parents to my lds temple marriage?

Thunder Robot Asked by funadvice over 2 years ago, 4 answers.

Hi, I'm wondering if in the future if I end up getting married and sealed in the temple, should I invite my parrents?
Personally, I don't feel right because they're not lds and they don't treat me like I'm an adault.
I'm 23 now and they better...

understand.
I'm currently attending Mid Michigan Community college here in Harrison Michigan.
And, hopefuly in a couple years I'll be excepted to attend BYu.
So, by then I'll be more mature wouldn't you all agree?
So, if I find my returned missionary, and be married and sealed in the temple, would my parrents and rest of my family explode since they do not care for lds/mormons?
Let me know.

I think Family should be included in all important events - you only get one shot at life - one shot to make positive/lasting memories - only Mom, Dad you'll ever have - include not exclude - not one of us are perfect...I wish you the best !!

Well, it depends. If your parents and other family are not members of the LDS Church they will not be able to enter the temple to witness the actual ceremony. Only worthy temple recommend holders may enter the temple because of the sacredness of that place. On the other hand, they can wait outside the temple and participate in the other festivities and celebrations of the day with you. For many families, that is what they choose to do, and I would recommend it.

I think you should def. invite them. Although they may be upset about your decision to get married in the Temple, let them know how important it is to you. Invite missionaries to come and talk to them, and give them a further explaination on the Temple, and the reason why you are choosing an Eternal Marriage

Although it may be rough for you... you know what is right, and what you need to do.

I'm so sorry...hesadanza is right. Invite your parents. But why all the exclusivity? That has just now made me post that question.
If you were Christian before, you still are. Do not be unequally yoked, says the Lord.

There is no such thing as being sealed forever and eternity. When we die in Christ, we all will be His bride...the Church, that is.

Praying discernment for you.

Blessings.
