He tells me that our Bishop has suggested he marry a non-member. presumably bring her into the church.
I thought that was pretty awesome. I expected he would say the opposite, but he's very practically minded.

I have heard Bishops give this counsel before, particularly to women. I agree with you. I don't think this should be the general counsel of the Church, but in certain circumstances if someone has the opportunity to have a meaningful, happy relationship with someone when those opportunities are not present within the Church, I am all for it.
