While I think that having common values is a good foundation for a relationship, a faith that instructs its members to treat the woman in the relationship as a submissive, silent partner is _not_ a good foundation for a relationship. I think most people are able to see beyond the literal meaning, though. So perhaps it would better stated that two people that share a faith, but don't take it _too_ seriously, have a good foundation on which to build a relationship.

DSE 5 #53 December 22, 2009 QuoteQuoteJust curious, by what measure would you separate FLDS and LDS with regard to this question? By tenets and practices. /Marg They're actually the same, minus one not-so-large factor. One actively practices polygamy and the other passively practices polygamy. Scriptures, interpretations, etc are identical. for the OP, religion destroyed my marriage, thus it has been a discussion point in all subsequent relationships.
