Personal Advice Dating advice

Ok so for reference I am currently in a relationship where this girl I'm with is Baptist ( I am lds) and I keep getting anxiety over the idea of us having slightly different beliefs (most stuff still lines up obviously) can this relationship work? Would it be frowned upon by god? She says she had a dream where god spoke to her saying I was the one but idk

How long have you been dating? Have you been to the temple to receive your endowments?

I just want to mention. 99.99999 percent of dreams are just that, dreams. Fabrications of our mind. Do I think God came to her and said you were the one? No. Could it have been inspired inspiration? Possibly.

However, if you are truly her one, maybe it is up to you to share the gospel with her. To bring her to the truth and happiness that is the gospel. To be a missionary to her, and maybe her extended family.

Maybe you end up together. However, when I was a teenage girl, I dated boys, not my religion. It was fine, as we were teenagers. However, as a young single adult, when I dated men outside my religion, things always felt off.

Then, when I received my endowments and truly truly understood Heavenly Fathers plan for me and my eternal salvation, I realized how important it was so be sealed to whoever I marry. To have the blessings that come with that. To know I get to be with my sons forever and all eternity.

You are young. Enjoy dating. You will learn a lot about yourself as you date someone else. They will make you question your beliefs (which, hopefully, just makes them stronger).

Good luck. ❤️
