I'm Catholic marrying a Mormon. I too felt hte pressure in the beginning but they've totally eased off. However, his dad is Catholic & he tells me that once a week w/out fail, the missionaries go to their house to talk to him. It's been over 30 years but my future father-in-law doesn't wish to convert but they don't give up. I can only hope I don't have to deal w/that type of zealousness. Oh boy. That won't be pretty.

I went to the Redlands temple last year before it was dedicated & while it was indeed beautiful, everyone kept asking me about the spiritualness & wonder you feel in the Celestial Room. I had no idea what they were talking about b/c I felt absolutely nothing other than "Gee. This is a nice room." When we left, I kept being asked if I had felt anything & I had to tell them that I didn't feel anything. I think they wanted me to feel some sort of spiritual awakening so perhaps I would consider converting. My fiancee just rolled his eyes at his family & told them that they should really stop bothering non-members friends & family about their religious practices & beliefs.
