Asking for a friend: What are the resources for women married to a TBM? Podcasts, friendships, groups, etc.

This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

C/P'd from someone that asked. I remember there being discussed on this board another board for people married to a TBM, or mixed faith marriages. Anyone here know of some places? Thanks in advance!

There is a Facebook group called "Another Testament of Marriage". It's for the faithful side of mixed-faith marriages. I tried to join it, but I was politely rejected as the apostate side of a mixed faith marriage. I did not want to be quite as duplicitous as I am with my temple recommend.

The "Uplift Community of Faith" on Facebook does deal with mixed faith marriages to some extent and it certainly is supportive of faith transitions that are still pointed towards the LDS church being true. They have recently started some small meet up groups and even a small conference.

Look for the "Marriage on a Tightrope" podcast also.

There is also this NOM forum: viewforum.php?f=3
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

There are FB groups called "Marriage on a Tightrope" and "Mormon Mixed Faith Marriage". I am a mod for both. I don't do much but the groups are great.

I'm a huge fan of Marriage on a Tightrope! I am a member of the facebook group, even though I don't really facebook. +1 vote for that group.

My TBM sister has sent me a lot of dogma so when she sent me this podcast of an lds therapist, I was skeptical. But after listening, I thought it offered good advice for inter-faith marriages - especially dealing with Mormonism. Mutual respect is important as well as building on common ground.
