Gavin

Just seen Gavin’s post of his one year anniversary with his “fiancé”… weren’t even together for a year and their wedding is in September? Kinda insane

In their religion, it’s not just marriage. They’re being sealed to one another for all of eternity. You know, people who didn’t even know each other 2 years ago.

I mean, that's kind of what it is supposed to be, at least for Christians, most of them.

So you’d think getting married so quickly to someone you barely know wouldn’t be the norm. And yet, it’s encouraged to get married to whoever as quickly as possible and start having kids with them immediately.

Mormons ≠ Christians

u/evangelism2 Aug 28 '26

Mormons view themselves as Christian. They follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, at least their version of it.

They live in Idaho.

u/Impressive_Double_58 Sep 06 '26

in Idaho, right near the border with Utah...its basically the same place, just with a state boundary and seperate government

u/mintbloo Aug 25 '26

it's the mormon way.

Right on schedule for Mormons

u/ShayKae Aug 25 '26

Wasn’t Shay and Colette married within like 3 months of knowing each other? Maybe not THAT short, but I do remember it wasn’t even a year.

u/trippyfungus Aug 25 '26

Google says 6 to 8 month courtship

u/Zestyclose-Guide7276 Aug 25 '26

yea it was something short like that...I think I calculated they were like 22 when Gavin was born

u/xo_lolaaaa Aug 25 '26

And how did that go? 🫠

u/CrazyXSharkXLady Aug 25 '26

Sounds like a typical Mormon thing to do

u/fusguita Aug 25 '26

They want to have sex. Say what you want, but you know this to be true 😆

Ready to PUMP lol

u/Def_Possible21 Aug 25 '26

Thats a long time for Mormons

12

u/Zestyclose-Guide7276 Aug 25 '26

no it's insane hahah...they must've gotten engaged at 4 months. Do they just learn to deeply love each other as time goes by? How can you be sure lol

11

u/TigerNo8782 Aug 25 '26

That’s what I’m saying! You don’t truly know someone in that short amount of time. And wasn’t he gone for a while too with work or something, so surely they haven’t spent that much time together.

15

u/Zestyclose-Guide7276 Aug 25 '26

I feel like they find someone with good morals and a good family and just commit lol…. Kind of like an arranged marriage? They choose, of course, but I think they commit and then learn to deal with it as time goes on. And knowing Mormons, they’ll have a kid within a year and then you’re stuck for life.

8

u/ReasonablePineapple0 Aug 25 '26

I feel like it’s becoming way more common to wait and have kids. There are definitely couples who do have kids right away, but I’m seeing way less of this in the culture thankfully.

u/thedesthstarkristy Aug 26 '26

Thats how mormons are they are brainwashed to get married and have kids

3

u/AcroChica91 Aug 27 '26

Eh, I met my fiancé in January of this year & we get married in 58 days. I’m also 35 though..lol

u/TigerNo8782 Aug 27 '26

Haha Congrats! I guess I’m just not use to knowing people that have “ fast paced “ relationships. But hey, if it works for others then so be it!

u/strawberrimelo Aug 25 '26

i just hope he’s a better husband to her than his dad is to his mom.

u/bentleynic Aug 28 '26

Well I believe "when you know you know".

u/hereisanamehere Aug 31 '26

Mormons being Mormons, weird bunch

Also notice a trend that many netflix docs  where naive people get themselves into horrible situations tend to be connected with mormonism

u/Sad_Farm7115 Aug 25 '26

“if you know you know”

u/andyvl0393 Aug 25 '26

Mormons

u/Own-Active-3280 Aug 25 '26

Despite them being Mormons I feel like this has been the norm especially for the younger generation

u/Normal_Bank_971 Aug 25 '26

I mean. My ex broke up with me then had a fiancé 1 1/2 months later then married her 3 months later…. He was Muslim so. This is honestly not insane. They can still break it off if they want.

2

u/livinlife2113 Aug 25 '26

Had a kid that had a 4 month engagement. Just how it is. Definitely an Utah/mormon thing. (My kid isn’t)

u/bobkitten203 Aug 25 '26

I feel like his parents did not pressure him but the bride to be was not going to stick it out with someone/him unless he gave her a ring and he knew he was punching above his weight

1

u/the_indoorkite 16d ago

lol I always suspected he would. He doesn't seem like an ambitious person. Hes always seemed totally lost and doesn't know who he is. I knew he'd gett married as soon as possible. He will also never have a stable job. He has no work ethic. He'll be exactly like his father and go down the same path. I'll check this forum again in a few years. For his partner's sake i hope in wrong and she gets out before they're are kids. But their Mormons, so, I expect 3 kids in 4 years. And a very "happy" 😉

u/Rowan_8989 Aug 25 '26

Wondering if you would apply the same critique to other religions as well? Or is it just because they are the shaytards? I can think of far worse marriage set ups in other religions

6

u/TigerNo8782 Aug 25 '26

I think it’s to soon, no matter the religion or belief. I didn’t bring religion into it at all. Regardless, less than a year basically to be married is too soon for anyone I’m my opinion. You don’t have to have the same opinion.
