  1. I am a christian in Sweden, specifically the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, but finding someone with the same values to date is hard. This is killing us. I couldnt be more happy if this is the future as the current mainstream culture and dating culture isnt the greatest for us.

  2.  @sasi5841  More outside of America than inside of America. But the church is biggest in the US and Latin America. Big in the phillipines and many other places. On paper there are about 10000 mormons in Sweden. In practice I would say maybe 3 thousand. We do many young adult and youth activities with other countries. At one point in the eary church there was more members in europe than america. Everyone immigrated to america in the early church though

  3.  @lucaslevinsky8802  not super interested in moving to provo though, have been there. I might move there eventually depending on life, but its not my first option or something I want. Moving to the US means leaving family and friends in europe behind, and I have friends all over europe from church and elsewhere. I will probably move country for dating to like Norway like a lot of members of my church but I prefer to stay in Europe where I dont have to plan a trip home months in advance and can be more spontanous. I am not super ambitous, america isnt really for me

  7.  @zxera9702  mostly, I am open to dating outside the mormon faith though. There is a deep cultural divide with the rest of sweden though. My fathers generation that worked for many but for ours it doesnt really. Some make it work though, and I have been encouraged by church leaders to try whatever works for me. Practicing mormons like me dont really drink, smoke or have pre marital sex so it makes it a bit tricky, so there is some frustration there. I also feel some sense of responsibility as I am kinda of a church leader for the Young Adults (18-30 group).

  8.  @devinmes1868  pretty negative. A lot of people are looking for one night stands, and even if they arent they usually drink quite a bit, smoke, or want to have sex pretty quickly in the relationship. A lot of Swedes cohabitates but that isnt really what I want...

  13.  @nickharmon2157  I see what you mean, but I do see myself as a christian, strive to follow God and christs teachings. I know there are decently sized differences, but I do see myself as part of a broader christian community. Dont really want to get into it though

  14. I have seen this in my church (Mormon) too to some degree. Most of us are usually conservative although it varies, but for some we have had to choose whether we put religion or nationalism first as we often recruit and fellowship these people. Usually fellowshipping wins out for us, but we also have a strong missionary tradition.
