A LDS mixed faith marriage means the two partners have a conflict of opinion. Conflict is present. Learning to tolerate conflict is an important skill to develop in a mixed faith marriage. Here I talk about some reasons why we don’t develop it and the cost of underdeveloped conflict tolerance.

In this episode I share my answers to 2 questions recently presented to me. They are: (1) What advice do you have for active believing members and (2) What do you wish active believing members understood?
