| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is John Delin. Thank you for joining us today on Mormon Stories. |
| 0:05.0 | What you're about to hear is part of an all-day workshop recorded at the Salt Lake Sunstone |
| 0:09.6 | Symposium on August 4, 2010. The first half of the day was dedicated to navigating an LDS |
| 0:16.0 | faith crisis in or out of the LDS Church, and the second half of the day was dedicated to |
| 0:21.1 | navigating an LDS marriage when one of you loses their faith. Since I'm in graduate school, |
| 0:26.6 | I put this workshop on, in part, to help raise money from my family's health insurance. |
| 0:31.2 | So my initial intent was to only share this workshop with those of you who contributed |

| 1:24.3 | in my relationship. You said you didn't go down. You didn't go to the temple. That was never really |
| 1:31.6 | your thing, right? Okay, my husband never released to go that much either until I started on my journey. |
| 1:39.9 | And now, dang it, he goes every single month a couple of times. And I'm just wondering from the |
| 1:47.5 | orthodox, I know a few of you in here said you were, what are the motivations for that? |
| 1:53.8 | Is it a compensating thing? Is it because the believing spouse feels like now all the burden |
| 2:02.0 | of religiosity and spirituality rests on him or her? And now they have to drag themselves and the |
